Description

Driving impact through strategy and problem-solving, I've worked across consulting, startup strategy and investing, focused on fintech, consumertech, cleantech and social impact. At Scalar North Capital, I invest in and scale early startups. Post my Masters at LBS, I drove growth at Deliveroo by innovating products, improving processes and expanding markets. At MasterCard, I led B2B customer acquisition strategy and at McKinsey, I crafted GTM strategies for payment leaders, governments and fintechs.
