Oliver Varcoe

Hi, I'm

Account Manager (UK) · EMEA

I put together this page so you can get a proper feel for who I am
before we've had the chance to speak.

A quick intro from me

Two minutes. I cover who I am, where my experience maps to what you're building, and the one thing I wanted to be upfront about before you read the CV.

The numbers that matter for this role

The specifics from my time at Criteo that map most directly to what you're looking for.

140+ Accounts managed simultaneously across EMEA
$12M+ Annual spend across enterprise portfolio
6 yrs Post-sale account management at Criteo

At Criteo I owned the full commercial cycle across both roles — onboarding, retention, performance management, and renewal negotiations on multi-year contracts with rebate structures tied to spend commitments and product adoption. I signed off on those commercially.

The portfolio management and renewal motion at ControlUp is the closest I've seen to how Criteo was structured.

Founder, SoBold — was Oliver's mentor

SoBold

He was instrumental in growing our business from its infancy. Very quickly he was working on our biggest accounts — not only managing the relationships but growing them. Oliver has always been a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend doing business with him.
