I've built products from zero — and scaled them to millions of users. I've been the CTO making every architecture decision at 2am, the Head of Product pitching a £30M roadmap to a board, and the co-founder raising funding while simultaneously shipping code. I know what each of those seats feels like, and I know the mistakes that are easy to make from each of them.
Right now I lead Agentic AI and commercial product at NatWest — personally building enterprise AI agents while owning strategy, design, and delivery for a major transformation programme. Before that, I co-founded Bonds India, a regulated fixed income trading platform that went from idea to 5 million users in 14 months. I've led teams of 1 and teams of 120. I've navigated RBI, FCA, and BSE regulatory frameworks. I've built on AWS from scratch, hired data scientists, and run P&L across multiple business units.
I mentor because the compounded mistakes of building are expensive — and most of them are avoidable if someone who's been there gives you 30 minutes of honest feedback at the right moment.
I'm particularly useful if you're:
→ A technical founder figuring out when to stop coding and start leading
→ A product person trying to build credibility with engineers and data scientists
→ A startup navigating regulated markets (fintech, payments, compliance)
→ Anyone building an AI product and unsure how to move from prototype to production
→ A first-time CTO or Head of Product who wants a sounding board, not a cheerleader
I won't tell you what you want to hear. I'll tell you what I'd do — and why.
