The startup myth says: hustle harder, raise more, move faster.
But what happens when ambition runs ahead of integrity? When innovation prioritises extraction over impact? When founder life leaves you burned out, doubting yourself, or worse—losing sight of why you started?
I work with innovators, technologists, and founders who refuse to choose between success and integrity. You don’t have to do it alone.
My journey into this work began in the lab. With a PhD in Chemistry and an MSci in Chemical Physics, I was trained to think systematically about complex problems. But I quickly realised the most complex problems weren’t scientific—they were human.
I founded Interactive Scientific, raising £1M before generating revenue. I scaled the EDUCATE Ventures accelerator to 200+ portfolio companies. Along the way, I’ve been recognised as one of the Sunday Times 50 Movers & Shakers, a Maserati 100 leader, and awarded the Purple Plaque for Innovation. My podcast, Founded and Grounded, is the UK’s #2 startup podcast with over 2 million downloads.
But the recognition that matters most comes from the founders, technologists, and leaders I’ve worked with—people who’ve found clarity when they were lost, permission to do things differently, and the confidence to pursue bold visions while staying grounded in their values.
I deliver keynotes and panel contributions that challenge conventional thinking about innovation and leadership. My talks blend real entrepreneurial experience, systems thinking, and practical wisdom—leaving audiences with clarity on complex challenges and actionable next steps.
