About this session

Perfect for: Complex decisions, founder coaching, or open-ended questions across product, tech, or leadership.

Bring your full context. Whether you're navigating burnout, preparing for a fundraise, wrestling with strategy, or transitioning into a CTO role. We'll break it down, unpack the chaos, and chart a clear path forward.

Your mentor

I build companies. 👋

3x Founder. CEO. CTO. Operator across AI, biotech, medtech, and deep tech. I’ve taken products from zero to revenue, scaled teams, raised capital, survived pivots, exits, and the parts no one writes about.

I specialise in the physics of execution:
- What to build
- What not to build
- When to hire
- When to wait
- Where technical debt becomes fatal
- Where leverage actually lives

Most founders don’t need motivation.
They need clarity.

Most engineers stepping into leadership don’t need more frameworks.
They need judgment.

That’s where I work.

Who I work best with:
- Founders building serious tech businesses
- CTOs or new technical leaders scaling their first real team
- Engineers moving into higher-leverage roles
- Operators navigating growth, chaos, or identity shifts
- Builders who want to think long-term, not chase noise

If you want clean thinking and honest signal, we’ll work well together.

What we actually do:
- Pressure-test product and roadmap decisions
- Architect technical direction for scale
- Design teams around constraints, not ego
- Improve founder focus and execution cadence
- Navigate hiring, structure, and capital trade-offs
- Reframe burnout into systems redesign

This would be operator-level mentorship.

My style:
- Direct.
- Structured.
- Calm.
- Systems-based.

I won’t overwhelm you with frameworks.
I will ask better questions than you’re currently asking yourself.

And we’ll build from there.

If you’re building something real, or preparing to, then let’s talk.
