I work privately with founders and executive teams at inflection points—moments of capital raise, strategic shift or accelerated growth.My role is to clarify and articulate the narrative that defines their leadership: the core thesis that aligns investors, talent and institutional stakeholders around a coherent direction.The work sits at the intersection of capital, strategy and communication.Work is structured as a six-to-eight week engagement or an ongoing advisory relationship. Engagements are arranged by introduction or enquiry.
Alongside my advisory work, I host All That I Have Met, a series of long-form conversations with founders, investors and leaders operating at moments of change.Listen on Apple Podcasts.
