I help planet-positive start-ups become global scale-ups 

As a Commercial Growth and Scale-up Expert

For 17 years I've been spearheading GTM, RevOps and strategy at startups from early/seed stage. Supporting engineers from R&D to commercialisation, developing strategic partnerships, value-led brands and marketing, customer success and high growth revenue across multiple industries.

A recent impressive experience was helping the engineers behind Urban Oasis with the execution of the full Go-To-Market Launch after 4 years of R&D - breaking ground within agrifoodtech by introducing Indoor Vertical Farming to the public.
