Founder

Hive

Masterminds are a special component to any online community. Yet they're hard to scale as your community grows. I experienced this myself running the 100DaysOfNoCode community. That's why at Hive, we're on a mission to enable online communities to scale masterminds on autopilot.

Co-Founder

Ardent

Head of Community

Ardent is a running gear startup on a mission to be the bridge between customers and their sporting aspirations. To realise this mission and as Head of Business Development, I have been very aware of the need to take a 'performance' orientation and have grappled with the perceived trade-off between the resources Ardent has and the extent to which we can produce a truly game changing or at least performance enhancing product/s with such resources. To offset our relative lack of resources (compared to industry leaders such as Nike) and to therefore still be able to produce performance improving running gear, I have set up a partnership with multiple departments (for example, Engineering) at Newcastle university. The university produces research and development (with use of world class facilities and expertise) that we infuse into our product development process and in return they receive real world project briefs that enhance the portfolios/experience of students about to enter the job market. As a result, Ardent has been able to produce truly performance enhancing gear at a fraction of the normal cost. 

I am currently in the process of building an online community for Ardent runners.

ODNC Fellow 

Appt Health

Designing and building a sales funnel in preparation for Appt's product launch.

Sales Strategist

Year Here

Year Here is a full-time postgraduate course designed to cultivate entrepreneurial approaches to entrenched social problems. Unlike a traditional Masters degree, it's immersive, action-orientated and grounded in the daily experience of those at the frontline of inequality.

Social Innovation Fellow 2019/20

London Borough of Camden

As part of the consulting phase of the Year Here program, I consulted for Camden Council. This work culminated in a comprehensive report, outlining a reimagining and design of Camden's social infrastructure of the future, underpinnned by a place-based strategy. As a complementary piece of work, in direct response to COVID-19 and as a way to amplify the community's sense of place, I built and launched a positivity map to capture the positive stories and random acts of kindness from Camden's response to the pandemic.

Innovation Consultant

Croydon Drop In

In the first five months of Year Here, I was placed at a charity providing
counseling for young people. In my time at this placement, I have was able
to drive through impactful innovation in the form of a new appointment
and text reminder system. This has increased booking efficiency and in
turn cut wait times for young people accessing the charity's services whilst
simultaneously reducing the amount of appointments missed by young
people.

Innovation Lead

Campus Capital

Campus Capital is the UK's first on-campus venture capital fund. From deal sourcing, pitch deck analysis and taking founder meetings, as part of Newcastle’s first Student VC team I have not only gained first hand investment experience but also learned how high-growth businesses really work.

Student VC

Storage Shepherd

As business development manager, I orchestrated a change of strategic direction for Storage Shepherd. I pivoted the company away from an 'Airbnb for storage' model to a less saturated and more pressing market opportunity; that being the disruption and modernisation of the self storage industry. Upon making this pivot, we gained acceptance onto the award winning Ignite Pre-Accelerator program in Newcastle.

In this role, I also increased Storage Shepherd's brand awareness and lead flow by conceptualising and organising the first of its kind 'Storage Social' event series which brought the North East self storage community together. This not only facilitated connections between self storage owners but also gave Storage Shepherd an opportunity to learn from and build trust with the 'supplier' side of the self storage marketplace.

Business Development Manager

As Marketing Manager, I initially conducted a full review and assessment of all marketing activities and later devised a five-step strategy (Attract, Engage, Capture, Nurture, Measure) to strengthen customer acquisition and retention moving forward.

Marketing Manager

Developed a social media strategy for Storage Shepherd that successfully boosted the reach and engagement of posts across the company’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by a total of 32% while also  increasing the level of traffic to the website from these platforms. In this role, I honed my skills in and understanding of SEO and growth hacking via A/B testing.

Founder 100DaysOfNoCode | Helping Entrepreneurs and Businesses Leverage No-Code and AI in Just 30 mins/day

Hey I’m Max 👋

I’m 26yrs old and I’m meant to be good at “tech” whatever that means.

Young = techie … right? Wrong.

Well, for me at least.

To tell you everything you need to know, my biggest IT accomplishment at school was learning how to save a file on Microsoft Word.

Tech and I just didn’t click…clearly! Or that’s the story I told myself.

Until I had to try to learn these skills to build the business of my dreams.

I started with no-code, then AI. It was painful. Just me and the internet. My dumb questions the only thing that gave me structure.

I soon realised I wasn’t the only one asking them.

For the past 3 years, I’ve been turning these *dumb* questions into free, fun and effective challenges for anyone to learn the same skills.

21k+ folks have already learnt no-code and AI skills via #100daysofnocode and #100daysofai challenges. I'm now opening the 100 School to apply the same formula to more skills 😊

I'm a solo-founder building this as a bootstrapped business with a tiny team. The only thing that's not tiny is our mission to build the most accessible pathway for anyone to learn tech skills. You in??

I'll be sharing tidbits on the journey from tech tutorials, tactical founder-y stuff and ofc some mushy stories too. See you around 🙏

Freelance, self-employed

Dreamed up and brought to life architectural projects with a human touch, using design thinking principles like a second language. My designs were as sustainable as a bamboo grove and were influenced by the nitty-gritty of urban planning. This magic happened through close collaboration with other fellow design wizards and architectural maestros.

With a knack for entrepreneurship and a passion for the digital industry, I've spent the last 6 years not just participating, but shaping the contours of the digital products and services scene.  

I currently Head Innovations & Growth at algoleap (if you’re curious about what we do, dm me.. let’s talk ;) ) 

As a versatile player, my toolkit extends from venture architecture & strategic design to interface and experience design, with deep-dives into AI/ML, Computer Vision, Blockchain, and Sustainability.

I’ve also navigated strategic partnerships with Fortune 500 companies focusing on digital product strategy formulation and execution.

Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it's certainly been the making of me. I'm always game for a good problem-solving session, preferably if it involves sifting through complex data and digital landscapes. If there's something to learn or a new way to innovate, you'll find me there, eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.
