I lead world class Founders with needle-moving strategy, to celebrity and creator partnerships, Tier 1 brands and to first-rate talent.
You can take the pick for what you may need.
As an entrepreneur, I've been fortunate enough to have ignited value in varying forms into some transformative propositions into the digital world, many of which have found successful exits (Zero Deposit, BuzzMove, Good Co., Ideo).
I've raised millions for my own businesses. I've activated my own proprietary blackbook of top table global brands and made them clients. I've convinced executive talent from blue chip entities to come play in the early stage growth domain. I've activated my own celebrity + venture partnership agency and put a hockey stick curve into startups I've developed a distinctive art around venture building.
I now ignite my gunpowder with driven Founders to build moats around their business and to rocket fuel their progress.
I move needles; I'm not a face for a deck and a phone call at Christmas. I focus only on instrumental value creation and dial-shifting activity.
When we're not talking cap tables, I'm a Dad to 2 sons and 2 step-daughters and an other-half to a better-half. I've an unrelenting propensity for travel and a passion for philanthropy.

Growth hustle, a Tier 1 client blackbook, a celebrity + venture partnership agency, and enviable talent to support your startup all within hands-reach.
You can take the pick for what you may need.
I'm a Partner in a celebrity + venture partnership agency - RollerSix - which can be made available to the right startup activation. We have a 500+ strong blackbook of Celebrity Talent that we can approach, engage and manage the deal to have them become an influential part of your startup.
Having worked alongside a tremendous number of executives, non-execs and board advisors, I have a phonebook of venture talent to engage as we need.
As well as advising, I've also venture-built successfully, creating companies from scratch and piecing together the capital, the talent, the marketing, the clients, the celebrities, all with velocity. I've done exactly what Founders need with my own bare hands so I'm a kindred ally from familiar battle grounds.
I ran a family office for a few years as a Venture Partner / Chief of Staff adding value across the portfolio ($1BN+) from fundraising, recruitment, brand building and strategy. I was also the personal wingman to the Principal UHNW. In addition to portfolio management, I also identified new investment opportunities and seeded a handful of deals myself (all of which exited and returned a profitable ROI).
I venture-built Zero Deposit, which became the market leading deposit alternative in the UK where we raised over £10M of capital, secured exclusive blue chip distribution as equity partners (Zoopla, Foxtons, Knight Frank, etc.) and my Co-founder and I recruited a Tier 1 executive team and Board to execute our plan.
I supported the Founder to grow this business from an idea to become one of Outlier Venture's hottest portfolio companies. In 3 months, we achieved 5 funding rounds, raised $5M of crypto capital, brought a rollodex of Tier 1 brands to the table (Jackson Family, Espanol FC, LiveNation, David Bowie, etc.) and helped the token price surge 16x in the process.
