About

I've spent the last ten years scaling businesses as President and COO, from early stage through to multi-billion valuations, across Deliveroo, Bird, Moove and Calo. I have also been a private equity investor at an upper mid market fund. I've sat on both sides of the table as an operator and as an investor, and the same gap shows up every time: the founder is capable, the product works, but the operating infrastructure around them never gets built. That's what The Engine fixes. AI-native operating outputs, delivered on a fixed cadence, without the headcount cost. Board packs, investor updates, financial narratives, hiring systems, planning cycles. The work that keeps investors informed and the business running, done properly.

The Engine - Operations infrastructure for the most ambitious Founders

Most founders at Seed, Series A and B are spending 15 to 20 hours a week on board packs, investor updates, hiring processes and planning cycles. The Engine delivers those outputs for you. Modular, fixed fee, defined deliverables, no headcount cost. Senior operator quality on a recurring cadence. We free up Founders' time to focus on what really matters: product, growth and fundraising.
