I previously founded a global text analytics company - built the initial management team, raised investment, setup and ran its global operational backbone, dabbled in building & commercialising the tech, and helped grow it to a $5M+ revenue company with offices in the UK and US.
What I offer

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
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
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
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
