Business Development

Small Business Mentor | Growth & Exit Strategy | Co-founder, Twillr Most founders start a business for freedom and growth. Many end up in one of two traps: a business that can’t run without them, or one that’s always busy but never grows. I’ve been in both, and I’ve found the way out. My background runs from engineering, sales and marketing at Intel and Vodafone to running a telecoms company, founding Bright Affect, and taking a business through to a successful exit. I’m now a Director in an Angel investment group, where I review and mentor founder-led businesses every month. Through Twillr, the consultancy I co-founded, we find the real thing holding your business back. Then we fix it with whatever works best, whether that’s better processes, automation, custom tools or smarter systems. We don’t sell a product, and every project has a fixed scope and a clear outcome. If you’re working harder than ever but the business isn’t giving you the growth or the life you wanted, let’s talk.
