I am a Venture Partner at UK VC FOV Ventures investing in the next era of computing, with a focus on spatial computing, 3D, AI and robotics. I am also CDIO at Edward Enninful’s EE72 and founded Poplar.Studio, where I raised multiple rounds from top UK venture capital, built a small sales organisation and translated that into multiple millions of pounds of revenue while partnering with key tech companies and developing new applications using AI. Before founding Poplar.Studio I led YouTube Studios at Google across Europe, the Middle East and Africa for six years, after roles as VP of Content for Dailymotion between Paris and New York and developing original content for Netflix in Los Angeles.
I work with founders as an investor, business partner and mentor, bringing 20 years of leadership across corporate innovation, startups and venture capital and hands-on experience in venture building, fundraising, partnerships, product and operations. I sit on and advise several organisations, including Non-Executive Director of Bodyswaps and adviser roles at Emperia and iindiverse, serve as a trustee of the technology dance company Alexander Whitley and have been an Executive Judge at the Webby Awards.
