I've led various businesses as an MD or COO, run my own ventures, and partnered numerous entrepreneurs and founders. I combine strategic rigour with operational pragmatism and real-world experience, making me an effective collaborator for hard-pressed visionaries.

Business narratives

I combine my business experience with an aptitude for language and writing, framed by an English degree and qualifications as a proofreader and copy editor. I use all of it to critique and improve pitch decks and keynote presentations, helping ambitious businesses hit the right promotional notes.
