I am an entrepreneurial leader and senior executive with 2 exits and decades of global experience with startups, funds and Fortune 500 companies. I have led high performing teams to move from the idea phase to commercialisation, both as independent ventures and within a corporate context and always by leveraging authentic relationships.
My multidisciplinary work has allowed me to build broad technical and commercial knowledge and a wide-ranging network. I am passionate about creating meaningful connections across sectors, organisational boundaries and between people and ultimately, working on products and services that are impactful.
Currently, I advise founders and firms on how to scale their ventures and meet their growth objectives. Most of my coaching is done via Oneday. I do also take on a very limited number of clients privately. Please reach out to learn more.
I have mostly pivoted away from angel investing and currently focused on acquiring sustainable digital products and real estate development.
