About Me
For over 25 years, I&apos;ve worked for businesses of all shapes and sizes, from start-ups to scale-ups, to multinational corporations in C-level and senior management positions.
?Common to every role, I have had responsibility for increasing revenue, scaling operations, and providing insight and analysis that has shaped the growth of the business. For the last ten years, I have been a founding management team member for a successful Climate tech SaaS business. Some of my achievements include the following:
- Pivotal to scaling the business and driving growth: &gt; 5 employees to 55. &gt; 0 customers to 50+ global enterprise customers. &gt; £0 revenue to multimillion subscription-based ARR. - Fundraising experience from Seed to Series B. - Driving transition from project-based revenue to SaaS subscription model. - Driving productization pivoting from bespoke analytics to repeatable data products. - Overseeing geographic and sector market development with North America as #1 market. - Creating and executing successful growth strategies across marketing, sales, and partners.
I now work with early-stage businesses that want to scale their business through investment. I help create investor-ready materials that ensure that your investment story is compelling and that fundamental investor questions are addressed.
Why work with me
I&apos;m not a typical consultant. I&apos;m not here to tell you how to run your business; you are the expert on that. What I can do is help you with challenges related to growing and scaling your business. Maybe you have an engineering or technical background and need help with attracting and winning new clients. Maybe you want to raise money through grants, an investment round, or a loan and you need to ensure that you have a compelling pitch or business plan, or that your business is investor-ready.
Often founders and management teams are busy running their businesses with little or no time, or perhaps little experience. This is where I can help.
I&apos;ve spent years scaling businesses, growing revenue, and building teams. If you&apos;re looking to raise money I can help prepare pitches and investor materials that present your business with the aim of securing investment at different stages from Seed to Series B. With a background in sales and marketing, I can help you prepare an investor pitch that is compelling and exciting, clean and simple, and answers those questions that investors will expect you to know.
I&apos;ve worked across a wide range of industries and engaged with cross-functional teams bridging commercial, financial, scientific, and technical to drive cohesive, compelling investor materials.
Based near Oxford, I work with founders and management teams of early-stage companies from all over the UK.

Business Troubleshooting

Every early-stage business has its challenges. Often, having a fresh pair of eyes look at the business can help identify what might be causing the problem and why. Once the issue is known, I can work with you to find effective solutions to the problem and how to implement them. 

You know your business better than anyone and I am not here to tell you otherwise but I can apply my extensive knowledge and experience scaling businesses to help you overcome your challenges.
