I Help Six-Figure CIO, CTO, CISO and Head of IT & Change 
Get Their Ideal job, Faster, 
With The Proven 7-Step System For Job Seeking Success

If you are an executive permanent, contract
or interim technology exec (minimum £150k)
and looking for your next role,
then you’ve come to the right place.

I know you’re worried about how long you could be
(or already have been) out of work. You're not alone.

You’re hacked off with the number of applications
you’ve made, only to never hear back. It’s just rude.

Attaching your CV and then having to
fill out an online form with exactly the same information
- that's a mugs game.

And let’s not talk about recruiters.
Just don’t go there.

The uncertainty -
the not knowing when you’re going to get back in,
that’s stressful.

I know. I know - and I’m here for you.

Your ideal technology leaders job is out there.
But it’s not always advertised.

You *can* get your ideal job to come to you
- it’s actually faster this way.

It also pays more.

You don’t even have to sell yourself.

Your ideal job, faster, for more money,
without having to sell yourself.

The Executive Edge job seeking coaching program
is exclusively for senior people like you
and has been refined over several years
and 570+ successes with six and seven-figure earners.

It’s not for everyone.
I’m not for everyone.

I expect and deliver results.
Definitive, measurable results.

Everyone gets exactly what they paid for.
You'll get your ideal job, faster,
for more money, without having to sell yourself.

Which then begs the question...
are you too comfortable blaming “the market”
or “circumstances” for your lack of success?

I’m not judging, but I am giving you fair warning.
Join the Executive Edge program
and I take away all the excuses
and replace them with certainty and confidence.

Executive Job Seeking Masterclasses

Transitioning out of the UK Armed Forces is not straight forward

It's even trickier when you're an Officer.

And let's not talk about how lame CTP is.

I've climbed the highest free-standing mountain in the world and hustled my middle-aged ass along the 100m track at the London Olympic stadium in 2012, both times to raise money and awareness for Help for Heroes.

I've visited Tidworth House and have spoken to those who have served and survived.

I've chosen to say thank you.

I've built what I believe to be a world-class job seeking coaching program, which UK Armed Forces Officers have completed and say was the difference between confusion and confidence. Between wrong moves and a clear road map to job seeking success.

It's for you.

DM me for more information and I'll help you.

You either land your ideal job faster and for more money…or you don’t.

If your job search isn’t yielding the results you deserve, it’s not your fault.

They say that success is a rubbish teacher and you learn more from your failures.

Let's just say that this year was a strong learning year ;-)

Here's my list of 12 "Walkers Wisdom" that may be useful to you too - they apply to corporate execs (including those looking to change job, my clients) as much as entrepreneurs (me), so have a watch and add in the comments anything you've learned this year.

1. Health is wealth
2. Action kills anxiety
3. Cash is king
4. Focus
5. People > things
6. Habits over Goals
7. Your first client / boss is your future self
8. Signal to Noise
9. Reverse engineering to go forward
10. Go fast, go alone. Go far, take a team
11. Grit
12 Love > everything

Happy Xmas and New year all - I am back on Jan 5th. DM me if you want my attention that week, when the jobs market opens back up.

Robin Ayme

Most health founders I know are unhealthy.
Sounds crazy. But it's true.
Was joking about this with Scott Marcaccio the founder of Myo recently.

We're building companies to help millions get healthier.
While burning ourselves out in the process.

The irony isn't lost on me.
When I coached founders and CEOs, I saw the same pattern every time:
They'd come to me wanting to optimize performance, high achievement and pro-athlete mindset level. Get that last 1%.

Then a few weeks in:
"Robin, I actually have two problems:

1 - My health is falling apart
2 - My relationship with my wife and kids is broken"

My answer was always honest: "I can help with #1. Still figuring out #2 myself."

Here's what I learned from working with top performers (people advising Meta executives):

Congruence is everything.

If you sleep 4 hours, run on stress, but your company preaches wellness?
You're not building a brand. You're building a lie.

Now I'm back in the builder seat with my own longevity venture.
And I'm doing it differently this time.

My bet? I need to be my hardest customer.
I need to build this company while:
-> Running a startup
-> Training for Hyrox (Yes, moving away from Rugby ...)
-> Trying to be the best dad and husband possible 
-> Actually having a life

If my product can't work for me when life is chaos, it won't work for anyone else.
Most health products are built for perfect conditions.
But we're human. Life is messy.
I focus on the human behind the body.

Because what's the point of winning if in 20 years I'm asking someone:

1 - Can you help me with my health?
2 - Can you help me save my relationships?

That's not ambition. That's insanity.
I'm building this company the right way. Or not at all.

-------
BTW - If you're near a Myo clinic. 100% worth your time.

Building AI Health & Longevity Products | Cross-functional Leader | 0→1 + Scale Expert | Ex-Pro-Athlete

For years, people told me I was “too scattered.”

Journalist. Coach. Athlete. Founder. Systems nerd.

“Pick a lane, Robin.”

Then AI happened.

And suddenly, being a polymath became my edge.

Here’s my morning now:
☕ Coffee
📋 Assign Notion tickets to my Claude Code agent
🚶 Walk to office (20 min)
💬 Arrive to Slack: “Done. Tests passing.”

Code written. Reviewed. Ready to ship.
Before my first meeting.

All those years going deep on productivity systems, automation, research methods?

Felt like procrastination at the time.

Now it’s the foundation for orchestrating AI agents.

The new leverage isn’t being specialized.
It’s knowing enough about everything to direct AI that does the rest.

Polymaths used to be scattered.
Now we’re dangerous.

No alternative text description for this image

If you're in the top 1% of health ... read this.
If you're tired of them ... read this.

Ever talked to someone obsessed with fishing?
They hit you with line weights, drag systems, tippet sizes, moon phases...

And suddenly, you have zero interest in trying it.
Health is the same.

You're passionate. You love the deep dive. 
You spend weekends reading studies on NAD+ and Zone 2 training.
That's great ... for you.

But here's the problem: most people don't want a PhD in longevity. 
They just want to feel good and live longer.

When you overwhelm them with details, you lose them.
Your job isn't to show how much you know.

It's to make health fun and approachable.
Teach people how to fish - and make them actually want to do it.

I'm sure you once loved a subject because the professor teaching it made it fun and approachable - I did (Quantum Mechanics - nerdy on paper, one of my professor made it memorable .. a story for later). 

PS - I consider myself in the top 1% of health. So that's a letter to myself ;)
