Founder, strategist, advisor. I help founders, entrepreneurs and business owners make fewer, better decisions and build stronger businesses with more clarity, better systems, structure and intent.
I am a London based strategic advisor, entrepreneur and co-founder of TableNetwork. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, systems, creative thinking and commercial reality.
Over the past three decades I have built, scaled and reshaped businesses across property, development, operations, design and advisory work. That journey has included everything from early buy to let investing and social enterprise, through to helping grow a real estate business with a £500 million development pipeline. It has also included the harder side of business: market shocks, operational complexity, failure, starting again and looking after my family throughout.
The range matters. I do not look at businesses as neat theory. They are living systems. Most problems are not isolated events. They are patterns. A cash flow issue may really be a deal structure issue. A sales issue may be a clarity issue. Team friction often points to poor decision design. My work now is to help founders see what is actually happening, decide what matters next and move with more confidence.
Today I work primarily with founders and owners of SMEs. Through TableNetwork, advisory work, writing and speaking, I help leaders improve strategic clarity, reduce risk, strengthen operations and build businesses that support a better life, not just a busier one.
My areas of expertise include strategic planning, decision design, annual business rhythm, founder blind spots, systems thinking, operational improvement, growth structure, real estate development and creative problem solving.
Before TableNetwork, I spent many years in UK property and development. I acquired and managed residential assets, built teams, led planning processes, set up, ran and spoke at industry events and helped develop institutional grade projects in Build to Rent and Purpose Built Student Accommodation.
I also founded a social enterprise lettings and management agency that secured and managed accommodation used by charities supporting women at risk. Earlier still, I started as an artist with a deep passion for design and architecture. I trained in furniture and interior design, and creative problem solving is still part of how I think: form and function, structure and flow, usefulness and elegance.
I am co-founder of TableNetwork, a business community built to help founders think better together. Our work includes strategic peer groups, founder support, BusinessMark and practical frameworks that help owners build smarter, calmer and more resilient companies.
I also write, speak and contribute to wider business conversations through articles, interviews, podcast appearances and my column work for BridgeWave magazine.
For current work, media, speaking or advisory enquiries, the best starting point is TableNetwork or LinkedIn.
