With a career spanning structured finance, military leadership, and agri-biotech entrepreneurship, this individual brings a rare blend of analytical rigour, operational resilience, and commercial execution to early-stage and growth-focused businesses. Drawing on over a decade in banking at Goldman Sachs, where he managed high-value, time-critical transactions across infrastructure, real estate, and alternative credit markets. His skill set covers stakeholder engagement, project finance, sales and distribution and strategic deal execution.

Earlier experience as a British Army Officer provided the foundation for leading diverse teams in high-pressure environments, instilling an effect-based leadership style grounded in clarity, discipline, and accountability. Today, those principles underpin his approach to commercial problem-solving, team enablement, and delivery under uncertainty.

Most recently, he has co-founded and led a sustainability-focused agri-tech venture developing microbial biosensors for early crop disease detection. The venture has involved hands-on leadership across product strategy, business development, partnerships, IP negotiations, and fundraising – bridging the gap between deep science and commercial traction in a technically demanding and rapidly evolving space. He is particularly drawn to ventures where science and innovation can drive measurable sustainability outcomes, and where execution capability is the missing link between strong technical foundations and commercial scale-up.

What sets him apart is his ability to blend strategic thinking with operational follow-through. He excels at helping leadership teams clarify goals, professionalise their go-to-market approach, formalise commercial plans, and build robust financial models to support decision-making and growth. Comfortable in ambiguous and high-growth environments, he brings energy, discipline, and a track record of ‘getting things done’ to businesses looking to sharpen their focus, execute faster, and grow smarter.

Whether supporting founders as a hands-on COO-type operator, shaping investor narratives, or unblocking go-to-market friction, he is motivated by the opportunity to accelerate progress where impact and innovation meet.
