Think of me
33 years. Built millions. Lost all. Stood back up.
About me
I'm a serial entrepreneur with 33 years in business. I've built tens of millions across multiple ventures, had multi-million dollar exits, lost everything - not once, but twice - and rebuilt each time, including 997% growth during the GFC. I know what exponential growth looks like and exactly what it takes to get there, even under genuine commercial pressure.
I work with purpose-led founders and leaders who know they're capable of more but can't quite break through. Stuck, lonely at the top, or capped by a ceiling they can't name. I've been in every one of those positions. I've paid the full price to get out of them.
What I bring isn't a framework. It's 33 years of hard-won wisdom from someone with real skin in the game - the exits, the losses, the rebuilds, and the personal work it takes to lead well under real pressure. I'm also an accredited Master Neuroplastician. I understand how people actually change at a neurological level. That combination of commercial experience and neuroscience is rare.
I don't convince people to work with me. The right people find me, recognise what's here, and know they want it in their corner.

How to communicate with me
Direct, warm, and honest. I ask the question underneath the question. I don't dress things up or soften hard truths, but always deliver them with care. I show up transparent and genuinely vulnerable - because real conversations create real clarity. If you're in the room with me, you'll leave feeling seen, and more certain about your next step than you've felt in a long time.

My Personality Type
Builder. Challenger. Straight talker with genuine warmth. I see the pattern before anyone names it, I call it clearly, and then I roll up my sleeves. I've done the inner work as well as the commercial work - so I bring the whole person to every conversation, not just the operator. The scar tissue matters as much as the success.
Three Things I Like to Talk About
I've built businesses from scratch and lost everything. More than once!
Over 33 years I've generated over $25 million across multiple ventures, hit the floor hard, and come back stronger each time. I know what's on the other side of that ceiling and what it costs to get there.
I help founders stop paying the price of staying stuck - and start building the business and life they built this for.
