Consulting Services
I can help business leaders like you create your longer term strategy or tackle day-to-day challenges of running the business, and anything in between.
From idea to exit, I can support you across your business - so you can grow with confidence, avoid pitfalls, and maximise success. Below are some of the key areas where I can help.
Vision and mission setting
Leaders often struggle to articulate compelling visions that genuinely inspire their teams. Without a clear, meaningful mission and vision, organisations drift without purpose, causing team disengagement, misaligned priorities, and wasted resources.
I can help you to set a clear vision and mission but also support you in communicating it in ways that drive authentic buy-in across different stakeholders.
Strategic alignment
Companies often struggle to get strategic alignment across tech, product, regulatory & commercial teams. But without alignment, you're burning runway and missing market opportunities while your competitors move faster. I can support you in making sure that everyone is rowing towards the same North Star.
Regulatory Landscapes
Navigating medical device and data protection landscapes within the digital health space is challenging; especially with SaMD and AI products. Your investors ask why you can't just "move fast and break things" like other startups. You want to build a compliant product without sacrificing innovation or burning through your funding.
I’ve had first-hand experience building ISO-compliant Quality Management Systems and Information Management Systems that don’t hinder startup innovation. I’ve run clinical research studies and achieving CE marks whilst dealing with multiple regulatory bodies across the UK/EU and US.
Fundraising & Stakeholder Management
Prolonged fundraising cycles drain focus from business growth and cause huge uncertainty for all involved. I have first-hand experience in driving high momentum fundraising cycles, building strong investor relations, delivering compelling storytelling, and clear financial planning.
Once funding is secured, I can also support you in balancing investor expectations, board relationships, and operational execution to set yourself up for successful future funding rounds.
Exit strategies and M&A
I can help you to gain more clarity on exit strategies whilst also helping with the details in M&A processes such as navigating valuation, deal structuring, and negotiations.
Hiring, firing & managing teams
Your business success hinges entirely on the people you bring on board, yet mistakes in hiring cost you dearly in time, money and team culture. You know you need to make tough decisions, but every firing is tough and impacts team morale.
I can help you to build, manage, and restructure your teams whilst maintaining the culture and momentum needed to hit your next milestones. See also my Coaching offerings to find out more about how I can support Senior Leaders to thrive and perform at their best.
Geographical Expansion
Having scaled operations across the EU & US, I can help you with navigating different legal frameworks, cultural nuances, product localisation and go-to-market strategies while maintaining product consistency and operational efficiency.
Avoiding burnout
You’ve likely poured everything into your business and now you’re running on fumes, or that’s where you’ll end up if you keep going as you are.
After the initial hype of launching the business or starting you role, are you still bringing your best self to work and also to your personal life? How do you make sure to sustain your personal wellbeing when your startup's survival demands huge sacrifice? I can share my experiences of this and provide ways to help build a more sustainable way forward.
