With 18+ years of experience in commercial leadership, operations, and strategic partnerships, I’ve helped scale startups and build high-performing teams across fintech, SaaS, and hospitality. Most recently, I led the EMEA region and global partnerships for Ignition an international accounting tech platform where I drove 3x revenue growth and helped expand our partner ecosystem across multiple continents.

My background includes co-founding and scaling Africa’s largest coffee shop chain, leading multi-region go-to-market teams, and delivering measurable impact in both early-stage and scale-up environments. I hold an MBA (with distinction) from the Australian Institute of Business, and I’m passionate about combining commercial clarity with operational execution.

I thrive in fast-moving, collaborative environments and believe great leadership is equal parts vision, communication, and empowering others to succeed. I'm always open to conversations about scaling product-led growth, building strategic partnerships, or helping ambitious teams unlock their next phase of growth.
