I’m a Fintech Co-Founder in B2B payments. Having successfully navigated the company to Series B, I am now looking for a new challenge within Payments. My background is an M&A accountant at Deloitte before joining Techstars accelerator in 2017 and setting up Shieldpay with my fellow co-Founders. Expertise is on the Commercial side of a business including Sales, Strategy, Finance, and Legal. I get the biggest kick out of helping others succeed.
What I offer
Start-up advice from having been in the trenches
One of the hardest things you can do in your professional career is start a company, especially navigating through a global pandemic and rounds of investment. It's not easy and the mistakes you make and stresses you experience are not new, it's how you come together as a team and manage them
Helped build and scale a Fintech start-up specialising in B2B payments. Having had numerous successes, as well as our fair share of mistakes, I've seen most scenarios that can happen in a start-up and keen to guide others away from committing the same errors and achieve success quickly
I have launched a number of strategic partnerships in the Payments ecosystem including Mastercard, Visa, Barclays, Marqeta, Western Union (now Convera)
