What I offer

Fractional Exec

Fractional Exec

I can help build your operational infrastructure

I provide hands on support to early-stage companies. I’ve worn many hats, from setting up finance processes, to HR policies, to implementing information security management systems, through to building teams to take over the day-to-day operations.

US Expansion

US Expansion

I can support companies who seek to establish a base in the US.

I have experience in setting up a US subsidiary - building the complete US operational infrastructure, including: incorporation, contracting, financial accounts/banking, tax and regulation compliance, payroll, and facilities/IT.

Advisor, Mentor, Non-Exec

Advisor, Mentor, Non-Exec

I'm a big believer in giving back and sharing my learnings (and failures!) with the next wave of founders.

I'm an advisor & mentor for a number of other early stage tech companies and am willing to work as the company sees fit - as an advisor or joining the board as a non-exec.

Fund Raising support

Fund Raising support

I've successfully raised £15M+ of VC funding over the years.
From initial seed investment to series A.
From pitching to managing the due diligence process.

I'm happy to work with founders/management teams and support them in this process
