Exited venture-backed tech startup Founder & CEO. I founded Hubble in 2013 (aged 24) and scaled it to become one of the world’s largest SaaS enabled online marketplaces for flexible office space. As CEO, at its peak, I grew the company to >$50m in GMV, with 85 employees, and coverage in >300 cities & 56 countries with the #1 market position in the UK. We maintained 5* Glassdoor, Trustpilot and Google ratings over 11yrs, as well as raising >$20m in venture capital from Tier 1 investors in technology (EF, Seedcamp, 500 Startups, Plural) & real estate (Starwood Capital, JLL, Pi Labs). Customers have included startups / scale-ups (Monzo, Starling, Taskrabbit) & enterprise (NHS, PwC, Spotify), and we have facilitated over $200m in booking value, maintaining > 85% gross margin. In January 2025, Hubble was sold to Yardi, the majority owner of WeWork and the largest real estate technology company on the planet (>$2bn revenue, >10k employees). I am currently a Director in the Global Solutions Team at Yardi, leading the efforts to scale Hubble & adjacent Yardi products to become the largest marketplace for flexible office space globally, with a current focus on US (NYC). Previously, I worked in Investment Banking (at Greenhill, Barclays, RBS and Morgan Stanley), with a focus on Capital Markets, Mergers & Acquisitions. I was involved in prospective & executed M&A transactions in the technology, industrials, infrastructure and retail sectors, working directly with the C-suite of S&P500 & FTSE 250 companies, as well as PE backed SMBs. Having navigated the highs and lows of the startup journey, I am experienced & passionate about: -> 0 -> 1 strategy of conceptualising a product, bringing to market & then scaling -> Traversing market adoption curves, from early adopters -> fast followers -> mass market -> David vs Goliath, how small businesses can win vs large incumbents -> Technological change drives societal shifts; the best businesses predict, ride & conquer those waves -> High integrity, high agency teams that deliver the best product, customer experience & revenue -> Founder mental & physical health, helps drive sustainable & successful business outcomes -> Distribution > product. How to build the best distribution that ultimately wins the market, and keeps it.
