helping startups & scaleups thrive

focusing on the important stuff so you can move quickly

I love working with founders and teams to grow businesses, solve problems and seize opportunities, using my varied experience to best define and execute on business strategy. I am a commercially-minded, committed business professional with international experience as a C-suite leader, management consultant and tech startup founder.

As a C-suite leader, Chief Revenue Officer, in a newly private equity backed global information provider, I led the commercial function to double-digit growth whilst the business was transforming from a legacy publisher to a data platform solution, and led value creation initiatives including a full company rebrand, and extended my remit with a data research function transformation.

As a founder of the world’s first platform for sports instructors, I put into practice a vision to disrupt an established market, developing the hustle, agility and resilience you need to set up and operate in a new and uncertain environment.

As a top ranked management consultant I learnt the skills, processes and approaches you need to affect change in big business whilst liaising with, and influencing, senior business figures.
