Whatever your goal, success demands a clear purpose, disciplined action and growth mindset.
I’ve navigated: career transitions, relocations, setbacks and successes; business launches, scaling, pivots and exits; plus a plethora of personal challenges.
Having survived, just, I’ve learnt to thrive by building self-awareness, structure and resilience.
While getting my hands dirty in the military and startups, I’ve mentored over 100 leaders.
I now help business owners and operators avoid failure and become the hero of their story.
My Story
I’m not your typical tech bro. Born in Salford, I studied at Oxford, worked in France and Russia, led soldiers in Afghanistan, then moved to London as Deliveroo’s 2nd ops guy. After we scaled the business 500x in 5 years, I went freelance, moved to Antigua, and now support people globally. I’m passionate about operating with purpose.

Mentoring Approach
I offer a bespoke 1:1 mentoring programme to help you clarify your vision and purpose, then act with discipline and a growth mindset to achieve your goals with confidence.
By building self-awareness, structure and resilience, you’ll learn to leverage strengths and overcome blockers.
The content depends on your unique goals and challenges, based on core themes.
In career mentoring: career vision, hero storytelling, self-productising, personal branding, job hunting and role performance.
In business mentoring: funding, product-market fit, strategic decision-making, business operations and team dynamics.
Another theme we'll explore is leadership development, to build competence, confidence and impact. Scale faster yet sustainably, perform better and feel happier.
You'll get leadership lessons from my military service, strategies from my startup and scaleup experience, and tools and tactics tailored to your situation.
I offer optional on demand support in between sessions, whenever a fire breaks out.
I can also leverage my large network to match talent with companies and vice versa.
My mission is to make myself redundant, so you can sustain momentum after I’m gone.
