With 20+ years of experience as both a successful founder & CEO and an investor in the B2B space, I've got the hands-on experience of the challenges of running a business, the investor perspective of how value is created, and the experience of going through the exit process.
Some of the ways I might be able to help you in your business are:
- Founding a business, getting going, fundraising, pitch reviews, and building a team.
- Go to market strategy - defining ideal customer profiles, buyer personas, route to market.
- Enterprise sales - setting up a sales funnel, developing your B2B sales process, sales collateral & messaging.
- Developing a partnership strategy & partnership economic models.
- Exiting a business - preparing to exit, running a process, negotiating offers, going through due diligence.
I've successfully fundraised from both angels, venture capital, and corporates. I've spent many years as an institutional investor and I'm a successful angel investor (no losses yet!). I can give an investor's perspective on your pitch deck, business model and go to market strategy.
As a mentor, I'm direct, pragmatic, and strategic. I adopt a coaching style and want to help you increase your skills. I challenge assumptions and aim to simplify complexity. And I love helping address challenging problems!

5 out of 5 stars
I booked a call with Fenella because I'm at a major crossroads in my career and was looking for guidance on some important long-term decisions. From our very first conversation, she quickly understood my situation, challenged my assumptions, and helped me cut through a lot of the noise I had created around the different options I was considering. She was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly sharp. Rather than jumping to conclusions, she asked the right questions and helped me focus on the bigger picture and what really mattered. I left the call with much more clarity and a better framework for thinking about my next steps. I would highly recommend Fenella to anyone looking for a strategic mentor who will challenge your thinking and help you make better decisions.
