Business Leader & Strategic Advisor | Emerging Technology | Defence & Security | Private Equity & Corporate Finance

Seasoned financial professional, with over 20 years global experience, currently leading on M&A, private equity, and portfolio management - complemented with operational leadership experience across a broad range of sectors. 

Formerly, a senior Royal Air Force officer & pilot, I now serve as an advisor, executing high-value transactions; occasionally, providing interim operational oversight for active investments, across the US, Asia Pacific, and LatAm.

I specialise in structuring complex deals, building consensus among stakeholders, enhancing shareholder value, and driving operational efficiency (when required).

Chief Marketing & Digital Officer / NED - Innovation / Ecommerce / Retail / Consumer / Top 100 Fashion Tech. Web3 - CPG 🎈 Mentor | Blox Mentor | FWB Member | Real Vision Member - JROE.ETH

Part strategist, part technical marketer, part growth hacker, part creative. I've scaled businesses from zero to $100M+, led brand transformations, and managed over £300M in marketing investment. I'm comfortable in ambiguity and at board level.

For the past five years, I've been focused on AI and crypto, where I still advise and offer fractional leadership. Before that, I was deep in consumer growth, mostly in tech-enabled roles within lifestyle led organizations and brands. I’m typically responsible for large P&Ls over £100M or growth from a very early stage.
