About

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!
