I turn regulatory complexity into competitive advantage — building the governance and compliance infrastructure that gets ambitious founders to exit.

Commercially astute General Counsel and strategic operator with 15+ years across FinTech, HealthTech and regulated markets, partnering with ambitious boards to professionalise governance, accelerate revenue and maximise enterprise value for exit.

Has navigated the full lifecycle of high-growth ventures — from pre-seed structuring through Series A/B scaling to final liquidity events, including a £60m trade sale and £40m+ raised across debt and equity.

Bridges the gap between complex regulatory compliance (FCA, E-Money, Crypto) and high-speed operational execution, turning legal from a cost centre into a growth enabler.

Regulatory & Licensing — Securing FCA, E-Money and Crypto authorisations to expand into new territories and de-risk execution.

Strategic Exits & Fundraising — Running due diligence and M&A processes that withstand investor scrutiny, and structuring VC/PE raises across high-growth rounds.

Governance & Board Advisory — Building public-ready corporate structures and board reporting that increase investor confidence.

Executive-level legal and commercial weight, without the full-time overhead — a General Counsel who turns regulatory complexity into a competitive moat rather than a cost centre.

Having orchestrated a £60m trade sale and raised £40m+ across multiple high-growth entities, I bring a track record of translating compliance into valuation.

I don't believe in legal as a blocker — I build the specific governance and licensing infrastructure your growth stage and exit ambitions actually need.
