I Help Businesses Scale

I am your

Partner

I am a consultant, founder and operator in the world of startups/scaleups. I have been fortunate enough to work with some incredible founders, leaders and investors, gaining invaluable insight into how businesses can succeed at different stages of their growth cycle.

I am an unapologetic ‘generalist’ with a breadth of experience across strategy, business operations and communications. I typically work with pre-seed to series B+ start-ups, VC portfolio businesses and consultancies providing support where it's needed most as a fractional COO or Chief of Staff, programme manager or special projects lead.

I remain committed to working with founders and leadership teams who show true passion for their business and its impact on wider society.
