Unlock growth.
Achieve more.
More profit. More control. More time.
I help business owners fix what’s holding them back so their business works the way it should.
What I do
With 20+ years' experience as a CFO scaling brands like Rapha (£4m to £65m) and Net-a-Porter (£8m to £80m), I now work closely with business owners to provide hands-on, high-impact CFO support - helping businesses grow stronger, make better decisions and stay on track.
