About

I'm a Chief of Staff and operator, I turn a founder's vision into shipped execution across strategy, operations, and investor work. Right now I run point for the founder of a London-based financial-AI startup, driving product direction, investor strategy, and day-to-day operations. Before that, I spent two years in the Founder's Office at Indus Net Technologies, leading strategic growth and sales operations across BFS, Pharma, and Insurance. I also build companies myself. I founded Eduquate, an EdTech venture I scaled to 10,000+ users, and co-founded Frame & Flux, a growth and design studio. Earlier, I ran category and operations at Urban Company. That founder's lens makes me a sharper operator: I've owned the P&L, the GTM, and the 2 a.m. problems. What I do best: - Force multiplier for founders — owning what falls between functions - Strategy & operations: OKRs, planning, cross-functional execution - Go-to-market, sales operations, and stakeholder management - Investor support: updates, narratives, fundraising prep - Building systems from 0 to 1, then scaling them My foundation is financial, BCom in Accounting & Finance plus CA Foundation, so the numbers sit under every call I make. I'm now looking for a Chief of Staff or Business Operations role with a founder I can build alongside, ideally at an AI or venture-backed company. Open to remote and to working across US and EMEA time zones.
