Hi, I'm Stephen

I'm a results-driven COO turned consultant & investor. I help visionary CEOs scale their business from mid-six figures to seven and eight-figure businesses, and I'm building my own portfolio of businesses across the UK and USA.

I've got decades of experience in leadership, organizational behaviour, operations, software, tech, marketing and automation, and now adding skills in AI. I use this experience and knowledge to help founders and CEOs break through the barriers to scaling up their businesses.

I'm an avid fan of fast cars and exploring the world, and I love a great cup of coffee.
