STRATEGY TO EXECUTION

Fractional advisory and execution

I work at the intersection of commercial strategy and delivery. Over 15+ years, I have built experience across management consulting, investment banking and technology, working with Fortune 500 organisations and entrepreneurial ventures.

My career spans EMEA, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and North America. Based in England, I lead EMEA partnerships for a Fortune 500 company, navigating complex negotiations, market expansion and strategic alliances.

I also advise founders and leadership teams on positioning, revenue strategy and routes to market. As a two-time founder and angel investor, I bring both an enterprise perspective and a practical understanding of what it takes to build.

My MBA in Leadership and Sustainability shapes my approach to responsible growth. Across boardroom conversations, advisory engagements and public speaking, I value independent judgement, clear decisions and measurable progress.
