Capital, relationships, technology, Africa and endurance — five lenses I use to think about value creation and long-term growth.

Capital

Capital is rarely the constraint. The challenge is connecting the right capital with the right opportunity at the right time.

My work focuses on helping businesses, investors and management teams navigate that process through strategic transactions, capital raising and long-term value creation.

Endurance

Most meaningful outcomes are achieved gradually. Whether in business, investing or endurance sport, consistency often matters more than intensity.

Many of the principles that drive success in endurance sport apply equally to leadership, investing and building businesses.

Relationships

As information becomes cheaper, trust becomes more valuable. Relationships remain one of the few assets that compound over time.

Greythorne had spent two years trying to expand into Europe. Revenue was $3.2M against a $12M target and they were burning $180K per month. The board was ready to exit. They brought us in for a second opinion.

Africa

Apr 14, 2026

Markets are often misunderstood from a distance. The closer you are to a market, the more likely you are to understand both its risks and its opportunities.

53 Capital acquired a B2B SaaS company with plans to scale and exit within four years. Eighteen months in, the business was at $22M ARR but growth had stalled at 12%—well below projections. They brought us in to diagnose the problem and fix it.

Technology

Apr 11, 2026

Technology is changing how work gets done. It is not changing the importance of judgement, accountability and trust.

I am particularly interested in how technology is reshaping professional services, capital markets and decision-making.
