Hello! I am a founder of two companies and have more than 20 years’ experience in the promotion of clean tech and product development.
My previous roles include CTO at Zapmap, a data company providing EV charging services which I co-founded in 2010. There I played a key role in product and platform development, and was part of the senior team that secured Series A funding. My current role is founder at Climate Create, a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) consultancy which is operating in a highly dynamic space.
Throughout my career I have championed innovation and have led several grant funded R&D projects that have supported product development. I also hold a Research Fellowship (focusing on geoengineering policy) at INTI International University in Malaysia. For me, developing projects and products on the cutting edge is where I like to be. Creativity is key!
Regarding mentoring, I believe that I am best suited for founders and early career C-level execs within clean tech companies. Although I am open to supporting you in any challenge that you may have, I can certainly help you with the following tasks and challenges:
*General start-up/scaleup strategy and advice
*Being 100% clear on your ‘Why?’ (I am a fan of Simon Sinek)
*Exploring/changing your leadership style
*Creating effective pitch decks and portfolios
*Improving your presentation skills to investors/clients
*Developing your teams and finding the right people
*Navigating your funding and investment journey
*Sourcing suitable R&D funding (Innovate UK, Horizon 2020, ESA)
*Overcoming specific challenges and maximising opportunities
*Managing your and your team’s mental health through key challenges
Based on feedback from past mentees and colleagues, my mentoring/leadership style is: collaborative, democratic, transformational.
If any of the above resonates, or you would like to know more, do please get in touch for an initial call.
