I’ve built two categories from zero to scale. I grew Diageo’s Alcohol-Free business from nothing to £20M in two years and then led a £90M portfolio to record market share across 11 European markets. Now I’m building the GTM engine for FOUND, a data-driven performance platform serving PE and professional services. I’m equally comfortable defining a new category or scaling an established one, and I thrive on turning complex problems into repeatable growth engines.
