I’m building Apollo° — the Founder OS
AI-powered Growth Marketing Strategist, founder coach and builder of Apollo°.
Being a founder is hard. Most startups don't succeed. My mission is simple: help founders improve the odds.
I'm an AI-powered Growth Marketing Strategist who helps early-stage technology companies find product-market fit, sharpen their positioning, and build repeatable growth systems. I coach founders through the Australian Technology Competition and have also coached finalists in the Startup World Cup.
Over the past 25+ years, I've built, launched and scaled technology businesses across Australia, London, Europe and the US. I've been part of the journey behind Qualitance, acquired by ALTEN, and FlowX, which went on to raise a major Series A.
Earlier in my career, I worked in London, before leading strategy and marketing teams at Tribal DDB Amsterdam and McCann San Francisco, delivering work for global brands including Xbox, Philips, IKEA, Nike and Virgin. My work has been recognised by Deloitte Fast 50, Inc. 5000, Cannes Lions, D&AD, Effies and the TED Awards, and has been featured by CNN and the Financial Times.
Today, I help founders think more clearly, make better decisions, and build companies with a greater chance of success.
