, explores the steps you need to take on your road to becoming your own boss.

Many people dream of leaving their job to start a business. But it isn't easy leaving the (relative) security of a regular income to follow your dream. Being your own boss can be an attractive pull to the (perceived) greener grass on the other side of the P45.

With over 23 years' experience of running her own business, Kathy now uses that knowledge to help people start and grow their own ventures and achieve more sales.

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. 

Book for me a discovery 

Hey, I&apos;m Kiki! The <ins>FUN </ins>brand strategist ?? on a mission to build 1000 positive impact brands.
What’s a brand strategist? ???????
Someone who can get your brand from where it currently is, to where it wants to be.
Essentially what I do is build brands by helping them to formulate a clear, actionable, strategic plan so they can achieve their brand goals.
The FUN part? ??
My style and approach to brand strategy.
When you hear the word “Strategy” I doubt much excitement is injected into your veins.
Most people think “complex, analytical, logical, BORING”
Strategy is super powerful stuff So, I made a decision to make my approach and in particular, my workshops, FUN.
Fun opens up creativity, breaks down barriers and helps to create an open and relaxed environment.
But more importantly for your brand, incorporating FUN into brand strategy can also help to build stronger relationships between your team members and your clients.
I run interactive and engaging brand building workshops, for startups, small and medium sized businesses.
In these workshops we go through:
<ol>
<li>A thorough brand analysis, which includes a deep dive into your current problems and obstacles and brand objectives.</li>
<li>Your brand anatomy (the skeleton structure of your brand)</li>
<li>Your market and positioning &amp;</li>
<li>The all-important brand research</li>
</ol>
We use all of this to devise a clear actionable plan for your brand to achieve its objectives.
Lastly, why positive impact? ??
I’ve been in this industry for over 7 years now to know that brands are a powerful part of the future.
They control and influence a lot in today&apos;s world and have power to shape consumer behavior, influence societal norms and values, and impact the environment and communities.
With this power comes responsibility and so for me it’s a priority to ensure that I support every brand I work with to make that positive impact, bringing balanced, positive effects to society and the environment.
In summary, what I’m promising you is if we work together, we can:
A) help your brand reach its goals + be profitable
B) help make a positive impact to socially, environmentally and economically
C) Have a sh*t load of FUN (and stress at times, NGL) doing it.
If you need help with your brand, send me a message and we can grab a room.
To chat that is... ??
