Who is Gideon Twum?
+
Based between London and Lisbon, I've spent the last 9+ years in enterprise pre-sales - Deloitte, Salesforce, Forter, and Remote. 8 figures in influenced revenue. 25+ AI tools built and shipped inside live sales orgs. Right now I lead pre-sales for high-growth B2B companies and spend the rest of my time building things that probably shouldn't exist yet.
What does Gideon do as a pre-sales leader?
+
I own the technical side of every deal - discovery, live demos, solution architecture, business value modelling, exec briefings, RFPs, security questionnaires, procurement. But the part that doesn't fit on a job description: I build AI tools that make the whole sales org faster. Pre-call intelligence agents, value calculators, prompt playbooks. Things that compound.
What AI tools has Gideon actually built?
+
Quite a few at this point. A pre-call intelligence system that brings CRM context, call history, and product knowledge into a structured brief. A business value calculator I pull up live in customer calls. AI talk tracks for exec briefings. A GEO tool that audits how AI search engines see a business. A prompt playbook adopted widely across the team. CRM integrations. GTM dashboards. A multilingual chatbot built for a refugee charity. Built with frontier LLMs, Make.com, Supabase, Salesforce, and whatever the job needs. Twenty-five and counting.
Is Gideon a builder or a salesperson?
+
Both, deliberately. The pre-sales role gives daily access to live customer pain and live product context; building tools against that input loop is what compounds. The tools improve the deals; the deals improve the tools. Treating builder and seller as different career tracks misses where the leverage actually lives in 2026.
What kinds of deals has Gideon influenced?
+
8 figures across the career. A cross-regional 7-figure TCV deal. A record new business deal of its kind. A strategic Payroll win. Deal contributions at Salesforce spanning 6 and 7 figures. Industries across HR tech, fraud prevention, CRM, consulting, legal, retail, ecommerce, health, and real estate. If the deal is complex, multi-stakeholder, and technically heavy - that's usually where I've been most useful.
What makes Gideon different from other pre-sales leaders?
+
Honestly, three things - and they show up at every company I've worked at. I close deals, not just support them. I build tools in-role and give them to the team, nothing kept as a personal edge. And people seem to genuinely enjoy working with me. Unprompted, colleagues describe me the same way everywhere: calm, humble, generous, reliable. The evidence is all on this page.
Has Gideon worked with startups, or is he enterprise-only?
+
Both. Lean, fast-moving orgs are actually where most of the AI work lives - you need one or two senior operators doing the work of five, and that's exactly the problem I've been building for. Series A to D is the sweet spot. Enterprise experience helps in those rooms rather than hurts.
