What I offer

Scale-Up Readiness & Acceleration
I help early-stage and scaling teams align product strategy, team growth, and capital efficiency to support 10x scale. My approach helps founders uncover blockers, focus execution, and build the structure needed for confident, high-velocity growth.

Investor Diligence & Narrative Shaping
From data rooms to burn-rate charts, I guide founders in crafting a compelling investment story—and backing it with diligence-ready materials. I connect the dots between product vision, marketing strategy, and hiring/financial forecasts to present a clear plan for capital use and growth.

Product Strategy & Market Fit
Refine your vision into a focused, validated product roadmap. I help early- and mid-stage teams de-risk product decisions using real customer signals, prioritization frameworks, and market feedback loops that support product-led growth.

Transatlantic Growth Strategy
I help UK/EU startups expand into the US and Canadian markets and access growth capital. For DefTech companies, this includes engagement and fundraising strategies with aligned venture capital partners, and connecting with US DoD innovation and Rapid Capability programs.

Fractional Executive Leadership
I embed as a Fractional CPO/COO to align product, teams, and operations for scale. I help founders architect their team structure, define hiring strategy, and—when needed—directly engage in talent selection and team buildout to achieve critical outcomes.

Founder & Senior Leader Mentoring
I work one-on-one with founders and senior leaders at key inflection points—whether scaling, resetting, or transitioning. Sparring partner and sounding board with a trusted outside perspective to help them gain clarity, set priorities, lead with confidence and navigate change, growth, and pressure.

Innovation Operating Models
Enable faster innovation without sacrificing clarity or accountability. I introduce lightweight frameworks that align and link capital funding flows, product discovery, and teams—creating operating conditions where experimentation and speed are balanced with rigor and transparency.

Insights on Economics of Innovation
Economics of Innovation and pace of change is disruptive to traditional methods of measuring value and performance
I explore the Global Enterprise Value (GEV) divergence between traditional and Tech/Digital Native companies & how leaders perceive value of investments in software technology
