I grew up on a working-class estate surrounded by three of London’s wealthiest postcodes - Regents Park, Marylebone, and St John’s Wood.

From an early age, I saw how access to capital determined opportunity.
It shaped who had freedom, who built, and who got left behind.
That observation became an obsession - understanding how money flows, and how to help more people access it with confidence.

Over two decades, I’ve helped founders, business owners, and investors facilitate hundreds of millions in capital across property, consumer, and technology sectors. I’ve won awards for fundraising and built a methodology that changes how people prepare for investment and exits.

Today I’m the founder of FundLabs, Valuedd, Acquisition-Grade™, and Living Intelligence Studio - a connected ecosystem designed to flip the traditional model of raising, scaling, and selling businesses.
Most founders and owners still go to market blind - waiting for investors or buyers to tell them what they’re worth.

We bring an investor-grade lens before they ever pitch or negotiate.
Through frameworks like the SIMPLE System™ and the Acquisition-Grade™ Framework, we combine human intelligence and AI to give founders and owners full visibility of their valuation reality - the risks, opportunities, and levers that build confidence and value.

FundLabs helps founders and business owners access aligned capital through strategy, positioning, and investor psychology.

Valuedd delivers the technology and institutional-grade diagnostics that reveal how investors view a business before it goes to market.

Acquisition-Grade™ transforms established companies into premium, buyer-ready assets - blending capital strategy, systemisation, and technology to elevate valuation multiples and create exits that reward years of work.

As clarity spreads, so does capital flow - and when more people access money, more problems get solved.

Beyond the tech, Living Intelligence ensures everything we build keeps humanity at the centre: connection, trust, and community. It’s why we’re now expanding into physical spaces - retreat environments in Bali, Oman, Devon, and Mexico - where top performers in business, sport, and entertainment come together to align money and minds toward meaningful impact.

My mission is simple:
To help people access capital, unlock potential, and come together to create what’s next.
We’re partnering with founders, owners, and investors who believe the same.
 
If you’re preparing to raise, scale, or exit in the next 12 months, we can help you see what investors see - before they do.

Hi, I'm glad you are here! Here's a bit about me.

I play in the space 'where heart and soul, meets serious business'.

As an entrepreneur, business growth strategist and consciousness mentor I'm devoted to helping leaders achieve ultimate success in life + business. Having founded a system for self-awareness and development back in 2007 based on both modern EQ principles and ancient wisdom from eastern philosophy and western practice; through LIVE IT UP 360 I've personally coached thousands of individuals to shift their patterning and step into a great self awareness and performance.

A business consultant (and former accountant) for over 25 years I've been in the trenches of over 2000 businesses from a very diverse range of industries. My focus is on supporting founders and their teams with consultancy and training in both operational and strategic leadership.

In 2019 I partnered with Entrepreneurs Institute looking after key business partnerships and now run our Roger Hamilton's private mentoring program as well as being the head mentor on the program supporting clients and fellow mentors.

I'm here to support your business growth and YOU as an entrepreneur.
