I’ve stood where you’re standing.
I know what it feels like to close an investment round, to feel the pressure of runway and to carry a list of priorities where everything feels urgent and important.
I also know how hard it can be to hand work over.
You need someone who can hit the ground running, contributing from day one. Someone who understands early stage pressure. Someone who delivers on every penny you invest, without the time, risk and operational drag of hiring permanent staff too early.
That’s why I created this service.
To unlock high performance in you and in your startup.
A calm, capable right-hand.
Someone who can think at altitude and execute on the ground.
Someone who thinks like a founder because I’ve been one and who delivers like someone who knows what’s at stake.
Protecting your time, fuelling your capacity, turning your ambition into sustained momentum.
What this looks like in practice.
I work alongside just three founders at any given time.
You get experienced input, strategic thinking and meaningful delivery.
This can mean: pressure-testing decisions; translating strategy into delivery; owning high-value projects; creating structure and process to support your startups momentum.
A focused partnership, where my priority is to ensure my input ‘makes the boat go faster, in the right direction’.
“Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly stood out. We’ve already recommended them to others.”

This is a good fit for you if…
-
You’ve raised investment or you’ve proven revenue. The pace has increased. The stakes feel higher. And execution really matters now.
-
You’re making big decisions daily. You know you shouldn’t be holding it all alone but you’re not ready yet or don’t want another permanent hire.
-
You care about quality. Whether it’s customers, investors or partners - execution matters. You want someone who combines startup pragmatism with a high quality bar.
-
You’re not looking for reactive support. You want focused partnership. Someone who protects your time, challenges your thinking and moves meaningful work forward.
-
You want momentum. You want focus. And you want to build properly, without unnecessary operational drag.

A focused investment in creating momentum.
This is a senior, fractional partnership designed for ambitious, growth phases.
My day rate is £575 with a minimum commitment of three days per month.
Focused, board-level thinking and meaningful execution - without the cost, risk or complexity of a permanent senior hire.
I work with a maximum of three founders at any one time to ensure depth, focus and real impact.
If you’re in a genuine growth phase and want strategic input without operational drag, let’s talk.

Build momentum.
We’ll work together in structured monthly cycles, including a monthly review to ensure we’re always asking: is this work making the boat go faster, in the right direction?
“I’ve learned that sustained high performance comes from protecting your energy, knowing what really needs to get done in your startup, and building systems that hold up under pressure to support those priorities. A big part of that is who you choose to have around you - people who share your focus and play an active role in making it happen”.
