What I do
Strategy
Clear, actionable direction that drives growth without drifting from the mission.
Operations
Systems and processes that scale impact, simple enough for real teams to run.
Culture
Workplaces where honesty and care make performance easier, not harder.
My favourite thing to do is build myself out of a job: designing the systems, automation and AI that keep things running beautifully without me.
Where I've been
Chief of Staff
Art of Accomplishment
I work alongside world-leading coaches who train executives at companies like OpenAI, Google and Apple, helping to transform at scale how organisations approach culture and leadership, beginning with self-discovery.
Chief of Staff
Ecologi
As one of the earliest employees, I played a key role in Ecologi's growth from an early-stage startup into the UK's leading climate platform, helping shape its strategy, operations and culture through the critical scaling years.
