I am a delivery-focused executive with extensive experience in startups and scale-ups, including as a co‑founder and in growing businesses from scratch. I work across Financial Services and Technology with particular expertise in Payments and Open Banking. I re-joined Modulr as Chief of Staff in London in October 2023, where my remit spans the whole business and I focus on building a high-performing leadership team and driving operational improvements. I am also a Domain Expert with Carbon13, supporting founders building startups to reduce CO₂ emissions.
I have been an angel investor since January 2012, backing over 40 early-stage businesses mainly through the Ventures Together network and increasingly concentrating on climate-related opportunities. I use capital and hands-on support to fund ventures with environmental or social impact, with investments including climate startups such as Ember.to, Shellworks and AllPlants, social-good organisations including Code First Girls and Manara, and fitness and wellbeing businesses such as The Boxing House. Based in London, I enjoy spending time with family and am a keen distance runner.
