Commercial Director at Clue

I've spent over a decade at the commercial heart of high-growth tech startups — scaling revenue, building partnerships, and navigating the rollercoaster of acquisitions. From early-stage hustle to exits, I've lived most of the chapters a founding commercial leader will face.

My career has taken me from Account Executive to Commercial Director across some genuinely exciting companies: Shazam (acquired by Apple), MelodyVR/Napster (acquired by Algorand), and LUDO (acquired by Xsolla). I also co-founded Introed, which gave me first-hand experience of what building from zero really demands. More recently I've been a Visiting Partner at Antler, one of the world's most active early-stage investors, and I'm now Commercial Director at Clue — a leading Femtech platform with 10M monthly users across 190+ countries.

Where I can help you most:

  • Revenue & commercial strategy — building sales motions, pricing, partnerships, and go-to-market from scratch

  • Startup life — the realities of founding, hiring your first commercial team, and surviving the early years

  • Navigating acquisitions — I've been through several; I know what they look like from the inside

  • Breaking into tech — I started as an AE and worked my way up; I understand every rung of that ladder

  • Emerging tech sectors — music tech, gaming, Web3, Femtech; I've worked across all of them

I'm direct, practical, and passionate about helping ambitious people grow faster than they would alone. I don't do generic advice — I'll engage with your actual situation.
