Clarity and Confidence for founders scaling with care

About You

You've already done the hardest bit. You had an idea, you backed yourself, and you built something people actually love. Most people never get that far.

But that doesn't mean it always feels easy. Founders are never short of ideas — it's what makes you good at what you do — but knowing which ones to back, and how to grow without losing what makes your business special, is a different kind of challenge.

That's where I come in.

About Me

Back in 2014 I joined a startup delivering fresh flowers through the letterbox. Eight years later, Bloom & Wild was the UK's largest and most loved online flower gifting brand.

I was there before anyone had even heard of letterbox flowers, shaping the product that would define the brand. I nurtured that innovative idea into the most loved flower gift in the UK, before translating everything that made it special into new products, categories, countries and retailers.

It was a unique and privileged position to be in: owning the thing the customer actually holds in their hands kept me closer to their needs than almost anyone. It also put me at the centre of the business, working across brand, operations, finance, trading and the teams that held it all together, keeping the customer happy, the numbers healthy, and the brand blooming.

Now I work with first-time founders, sharing that experience to help them navigate the inevitable challenges they face as they grow.
