How we tell our stories affects the decisions people make.

Who I Help

I work with growth-stage and scale-up companies — particularly those at points of transition:

Preparing for fundraising (Series A+, pre-IPO, or strategic investment).
Shaping brand and market positioning to move from “one to many.”
Navigating transformation (mergers, pivots, ESG integration, or sector repositioning).

These are organisations where experience, judgement, and clarity make the difference between stalling and scaling.

The Problems I Solve

Clarity of story → distilling complex ideas into simple frameworks stakeholders understand and act upon.
Investor & stakeholder confidence → building credibility and narratives that unlock capital and partnerships.
Scaling brand & marketing functions → developing practical strategies that evolve with growth.
Transformation with integrity → ensuring businesses adapt without losing their values or purpose.
Creative leadership → mentoring founders, boards, and teams to generate and select the best ideas.

Why Me

20+ years’ experience as a senior international brand and marketing leader across telecoms, technology, and sustainability.
Proven track record in capital raising ($300m+ secured) and scaling businesses at critical inflection points.
Recognised as a Top 50 CMO by Global Telecoms Business.
Board-level and NED exposure, bridging strategy with execution across diverse markets (UK, Africa, US, Asia).
Known for distilling complexity into clarity, aligning creative ideas with commercial outcomes, and driving transformation that lasts.

Engagements

Portfolio advisory/NED roles for growth-stage companies.
Fractional CMO/brand strategist for founders and boards.
Facilitation & mentoring for leadership teams navigating change.

Call to Action

I am currently exploring selective advisory and NED opportunities with ambitious companies in transition. If you are scaling, repositioning, or preparing for investment, I’d welcome a conversation.
