Build your business with experience.

“Business is my passion, since founding We are Ambition I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some incredible founders. From restaurant entrepreneurs to SAAS technology products I’ve helped founders raise capital, drive commercial growth, strengthen operations and brand positioning. All too often I see companies raise their first round of capital and then go on a mass hiring spree in the belief that more people will solve all their problems. Sadly, a few months down the line many of these companies are making redundancies having lacked understanding around business needs and burned through capital. In today’s hybrid working world access to global talent and technology driven solutions can be game changing. By working with independent experience that is freelance, business owners and founders get the chance to access experience and talent on a flexible basis. Protecting cashflow and understanding the roadmap to effective growth should be paramount. I can work with founders in both a coaching and business development capacity, meaning I can not only help business leaders derive their growth strategies, I can also provide the resources for execution.”
