About

Founder @ Sollo - A lead generation CRM that helps entrepreneurs turn strangers into paying customers. Built on the knowledge I've accumulated by building AI sales systems that have produced over $30m in revenue for clients. See more about it here: www.gosollo.com Here's a bit about me: At 23 I opted out of the corporate world and threw myself into the world of venture backed startups. I haven't looked back since! And a quick summary: At 23: Promoted to Head of Product at a startup. It went under. Learnt what NOT to do. At 24: Started my own startup - Bot the Builder. Raised first capital round. At 25: Rebranded to JRNY. Found a boring vertical to focus on - insurance. At 26: Built out JRNY to team of 10. At 27: Raised seed round. Entered two new markets. Grew team to 15. Then. COVID. So: At 28: Sold JRNY. At 28.1: Started as a VP of Sales at a series A company. Grew revenue from $1m to $4m in 15 months. At 30: Moved to London. Joined a series C company as GM of EMEA. Led a team of 55 people across the region. Grew revenue from $12m to over $19m ARR in 10 months. Achieved regional profitability. At 31: Went out on my own again. And here we are!
