01Problems I solve
Expensive problems that sit between strategy and execution.
01
Payments that hold growth back
Provider set-ups, costs or failure rates that no longer fit the business you are becoming.
02
Growth without a repeatable motion
Revenue that depends on the founder, with enterprise deals that are slow and hard to forecast.
03
Partnerships that don't progress
Bank, distribution or market partners where conversations stall before value is agreed.
04
Priorities that stall between teams
Important initiatives lost in the handoffs between product, commercial, finance and operations.

03How I work
Diagnose, design, execute, improve.
Strategy is only as useful as what changes afterwards. Every engagement moves from understanding the problem to delivering and measuring the result.
- 1
Diagnose
Understand the real problem, the constraints and what is already working.
- 2
Design
Make the key decisions and turn them into a practical plan with owners.
- 3
Execute
Work alongside your team to deliver — partnerships, launches, processes and systems.
- 4
Improve
Measure what changed, keep what works and adjust the rest.
04Selected work
Work from payments, partnerships and launches.
Case studies are written with the organisations involved and anonymised where confidentiality requires it.
“I work where strategy meets execution — in payments, partnerships, commercial growth and the operations that make them last.”
My background spans fintech and payments, strategic partnerships, international expansion, enterprise sales and building startups. I work with founders as a senior, hands-on partner.
