I've built and scaled fast-growing FinTech products as a founder and operator.

- Scaled PayPal’s Buy Now Pay Later and Merchant Lending business in the UK to a £2B annual originations run rate.
- Bootstrapped a consumer FinTech, enabling customers to access wages early.
- Founded and scaled a venture-backed FinTech, providing revenue-based financing to digital businesses.

I’ve developed expertise in early product validation, go-to-market strategy, growth, and operations.

Along the way, I've just been following my interests and solving problems for customers.

Oh, and I love riding motorbikes and climbing mountains.
