Talking truth on leadership, growth & product marketing | 5x founder | 3x exits |

London, England, United Kingdom

About

I’m a builder at heart, with five startups and three exits under my belt. My passion lies at the intersection of product, marketing, sales, and data - so you’ll often hear me talking about product marketing. My entrepreneurial journey has taught me the value of resilience, innovation, and questioning the crowd rather than following it. Most importantly, it’s shown me the power of community. 👉 Why I share on LinkedIn: I believe in collective learning: I want to provide tried and tested insights to help you navigate your career, whether you're a founder, marketer, or looking to learn something new. 👉 What I talk about: 1️⃣ Building bootstrapped companies Why go-to-market efficiencies are a non-negotiable 2️⃣ How to spot and nurture talent Strategies for building high-performing and efficient teams 3️⃣ Product marketing - why won’t I shut up about it? How effective product marketing drives business success. 4️⃣ Operational excellence + a great culture. It is possible. The nuts and bolts of business operations and fostering a winning culture. 5️⃣ What does leadership really mean? The changing expectations of what it means to be a “boss.” Go ahead and hit the follow button, and I’ll see you around!
