Leadership coaching for founder-led businesses

Shift Your Leadership Team From Executing Tasks to Owning Outcomes

Most founders scale the business and stay the bottleneck. I work with leadership teams at 30–500 person firms to build the judgement, rhythm and structure that let you step back without the business slipping backwards.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Strong growth, but leadership struggling to keep pace

  • Accountability slips between people who all think someone else owns it

  • You scaled revenue but the operating system didn't scale with it

  • Meetings feel unproductive and the same issues return every week

  • Every decision still routes back to you, even with a leadership team in place

Most founders don't need a bigger vision.

They need a team that can execute on the one they already have.

About the coach

I've stood exactly where you are standing

By 27, I was running my fifth business. Growth was never the issue, I could sell, launch, and scale; to a point. But in 2016, brought face-to-face with the limits of my own leadership, I brought in external coaching for the first time. That decision changed everything.

I learned that revenue isn't readiness, and freedom isn't earned through grind, it has to be built consciously. Real scale comes from building teams that own outcomes, not tasks, and from treating leadership as the multiplier pillar that determines whether every other part of the business, people, operations, sales and finance, actually compounds.

That shift became the foundation of how I coach today. I work with founder-led businesses, helping leaders step back from the detail and build the judgement, rhythm, and structure needed to operate at the next altitude. My clients include firms 30 to 500 people across the UK.

I'm also a global trainer for the Entrepreneurs' Organization's Accelerator Programme, working alongside startup founders navigating the exact inflection points I once faced myself.
