I'm not a coach and I don't sell playbooks. I'm a founder/operator who's shipped under pressure — across Revolut's rocket ship years and building Maroo from scratch (YC S21, acquired).
I know what it's like when there's too much on the line for theory and not enough time for indecision.
When you need a steady operator who brings momentum and clarity to real, messy problems, I'm the extra head you want at the table.
What I Do For Founders
0 to 1 Execution
Tackle 'zero to one' problems and get new initiatives moving fast
Decision Support
Help you break deadlocks or take decisions when you're stuck
Crisis Management
Roll up sleeves, triage fires, and get teams moving when everything's urgent
Fresh Perspective
Bring outside perspective—challenge assumptions, spot the blind spots, ask the tough questions
Results Focus
Make sure hard work actually turns into measurable results—not just activity or wasted motion.
Implementation
Bridge the gap between ideas and reality when you can't afford to slow down
How I Work
Direct, hands-on, and always honest. I'm not a fit for endless workshops or blue-sky brainstorming.
If you want someone who's comfortable with uncertainty, unafraid of conflict, and will take action (not just advise from the sidelines), I'm in.
I believe in quick wins, visible progress, and helping you create your own playbooks as we go

For founders who:
Are building under pressure, not just planning
Value action and candor over "nice" but empty advice
Need momentum, not just frameworks
Want a partner in the mess, not just another consultant
Not a fit if:
You want someone to just agree with you
You're looking for generic coaching or step-by-step templates
You're not ready to be challenged—or to act
