There are a myriad of unexpected challenges that founders face during the Series A+ stage of scaling. 

Hitting growth ceilings.  Difficulties attracting quality talent.   Rolling out yet another team reorganisation.  Deciding whether to invest in brand vs response marketing.  Rocketing unit economics.  Trouble cascading OKRs. Working out when to build in-house v buying external capabilities.  Underperforming team members.  Mar-tech stacks that don’t scale.  To name just a few!

From 2015 - 2022 I was part of the leadership team at one of the fastest growing, most exciting consumer fintech businesses in Europe - ClearScore.

I bring an experienced lens to this first phase of scaling, supporting founders and leadership teams to navigate these challenges successfully.  I can share the mistakes and triumphs I had leading our business from 1 to 10 million users, from building a marketing team from 1 to 30+, and from an unknown brand to a well-loved, high recall household name.  

I can advise you on to how build highly efficient teams at break-neck speed, how to build a high performance scale-up culture and how to attract and motivate the talent you need to grow.

Having stewarded some of the most premium, admired brands in the world, and also built brands from scratch in the start-up setting - I’m able to balance between being pragmatic and scrappy, whilst having a clear eye on what successful businesses require to operate at world class. Through working with me I can help you bridge this gap and scale your business effectively.
