Not your typical Chief People Officer, I am a trained Systems Engineer with a PhD in Leadership Development. Throughout my extensive career, I’ve worked with 2, 20 and 200-year-old companies with revenues ranging from £1m, 10m, 100m to £1 billion.
My primary focus is guiding founders and start-up leaders to transition from the creative chaos stage to repeatable performance.
This is the building-to-scale inflection point where many start-ups lose value and waste time, and 80% of start-ups do not make it past this stage in their journey to $100 million revenue.
To help founders avoid the mistakes everyone makes along this journey, I created the ‘Scaling Start-Ups’ blog series and newsletter. In addition, I contribute extensively to the start-up community’s collective knowledge base via Sifted, Notion Capital, Atomico, Balderton, Point Nine, Forestay and Offbeat among many other publications, communities and VCs.
