About
I’m a Forbes 30u30 founder and CEO, with 10+ years’ experience starting and scaling tech companies in both the UK and US markets.
Over the years, I’ve:
- Taken products from 0 to seven-figure ARR
- Raised multiple rounds of funding (inc. from VCs)
- Built profitable, lean operations with small, high-performing teams
I’ve led both B2B and B2C products. Like most founders, I’ve worn plenty of hats (across product, sales, hiring, people management, fundraising, user research, and the inevitable fire-fighting that comes with building something from scratch). This has given me a practical understanding of what it really takes to run a business end-to-end.
Areas of expertise:
- Validating new products and finding early product-market fit
- Navigating pivots and evolving business models
- Building capital-efficient, profitable companies
- Operating across both UK and US go-to-market environments
Philosophy:
- I’m a big believer in paying it forward and sharing insights with other founders
- I’ve often found myself informally guiding founders over the years
- I genuinely enjoy helping people think clearly through the challenges of building and scaling
