John Watton
About Me
Hi, I’m John Watton. I’ve led marketing at global tech brands like Adobe, VMware and Yext, building high-performing teams and delivering commercial growth across EMEA and global markets. I understand the pressures of scaling and how marketing can (and should) drive the business forward.
Over the years I’ve worked directly with GTM leaders in high growth companies to help reset teams, optimise performance, and unlock new growth – all powered by creativity, tech and AI.
I believe in cutting through the noise, focusing on outcomes, and building marketing that earns its seat at the table. My depth of experience lets you do just that – faster, smarter, and with real impact.
I’m also an investor in cleantech, wellness and eco brands, co-Chair for rewilding pioneers LettsSafari and Patron of Chiswick House & Gardens Trust.
When not working you can find me trying to make the perfect caffé macchiato, going to gigs, fiddling with analog synthesisers or listening to electronic music. I’m also renovating a property in Puglia, so desperately trying to improve my Italian!
