Meet Me
Hello, I’m a passionate advocate for turning early traction into scalable commercial systems by crafting strategy, structure, and operational rhythms that ventures need for sustainable growth. I thrive in critical phases where startups have ambition but require solid commercial processes, fully embedding myself within teams to own the commercial function rather than advising from a distance. Beyond growth engines, I enjoy sharing tips for lunchtime table tennis wins and exploring innovations that create positive impact.
