MY JOURNEY
Leading the architecture
& delivery of a £300M+ Bank.
Before launching multiple brands, I led the architecture and delivery of a £300M+ commercial bank from the ground up - a deep dive into complex systems, regulatory frameworks, and enterprise-scale operations. After banking, I bootstrapped Ethical Bedding into a 7-figure sleep brand rooted in sustainability, now expanding across USA and Southeast Asia.

From there, I launched Moongreens, a performance-focused supplement company built for people who actually care what goes into their body.

I’m now leading a $100M+ real estate project in Bali — Origins — reimagining how spaces can support peak human experience. I still consult with ambitious founders and funds, but I’m always building. Always hands on, and always focused on turning great ideas into scalable, profitable businesses.

FOUR ELEMENTS FRAMEWORK
A better business,
engineered by design.

The fusion of Stoicism, Buddhism, and Nature in business and life.

My personal philosophy is a blend of timeless wisdom and lived experience - a fusion of Stoic discipline, Buddhist awareness, and a deep reverence for the natural world. These aren’t just abstract concepts. They’re systems for living. For building. For healing.

FAQs
What kind of businesses do you work with?

I partner with founder-led businesses doing £1m - 50m+ in revenue who want to scale with intention. You need to be past product-market fit, profitable (or close), and hungry for a serious exit or transformation. I don’t do vanity projects.

What’s your consulting structure?

There are three main ways to work with me:

• Fit Test - £250 for 30 mins (refunded if we proceed).

• 1-Hour Deep Dive - £1,500 flat. One hour, high-impact.

• Fractional CEO / 90-Day Sprint - £20K/month or £75–£100K/quarter. Typically a hybrid model (Fee + Equity) with clear deliverables and defined outcomes.

What is the Earth, Wind, Fire, Water framework?

It’s my elemental approach to diagnosing and scaling businesses:

• Earth (Foundations): Brand, strategy, team, core operations.

• Wind (Revenue): Acquisition, sales funnels, expansion.

• Fire (Efficiency): Burn rate, margin structure, automation.

• Water (Sustainability): Resource allocation, resilience, future-proofing.



Every engagement I take on uses this structure - whether you’re a D2C brand, service business, or something niche. It keeps things simple, smart, and effective.

Do you ever work purely for equity?

Rarely. Only in supernormal situations with massive upside potential, where I truly believe in the founder and business. Otherwise, I prefer a hybrid of fee + equity, so we’re both invested and moving fast.

What’s the TOM Diagram?

TOM = Target Operating Model. It’s a visual of how your business should actually run - from people to processes to profit levers. I’ll build or rewire your TOM during most engagements, especially in the first 30 days of any Sprint or Fractional role.

What’s your availability like?

I keep my client base lean. No more than 2–3 businesses at a time, so you get the attention and speed you’re paying for. I’m not here to sell time - I’m here to create leverage.

Can I book you to speak?

Yes. I do select keynote talks and panels around entrepreneurship, sustainable business, and founder psychology. You can book via this link or reach out for custom sessions.
