Helping founders translate strategy into repeatable execution.
Fractional Chief of Staff | Scaleup Advisor | Coach & Mentor
Before founding Catenae, I was a VC investor for four years, investing in, working with and serving on the board of a dozen technology businesses. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to scaling.
Most businesses have a great idea and most teams are working hard but the ones that really succeed are those that are able to identify what things really move the dial, ruthlessly prioritise them and ensure everyone is aligned to get them done at pace.
Everything I do focusses on helping amplify what the CEO and founding team want to do. I work hand in hand with founders to break down their vision into bite size priorities, set and manage team performance, spot bottlenecks and unblock them and help the business to scale efficiently, increase revenue and drive towards breakeven, the next funding round or an exit.
The mission is simple, even VC backed businesses have finite resource and I help founders make sure they are getting the most out of theirs.
My Background and Approach
Why Work Together?
Do you feel like:
🔘 Your business isn’t growing as fast as you’d like but not sure why and how to change it?
🔘 You know there are internal bottlenecks but can’t find where or how to unblock them?
🔘 You need to raise your next round but you don’t want to lose time in the business?
🔘 You want to implement OKRs and KPIs to drive accountability but you don’t know where to start?
🔘 You want to explore buying another business but it’s not a process you’ve been through before?
🔘 You’re getting Xero exports from your accountant but unsure what changes to make on the back of it?
If any of the above is you, let’s chat.
Embedded Partner
You gain the benefits of a Chief of Staff without a full‑time hire. We identify roadblocks, implement solutions and drive growth together. You stay focused on the vision whilst I help the business run smoothly.
How We Can Work Together
Focused Fixes
Have a specific issue that’s slowing you down? In an 8- or 12-week sprint, we will deep dive the problem, find the right solution and embed an ongoing playbook to ensure it doesn’t reoccur.
Cohort Support
Equip your cohort with the skills to scale. I work with innovation ecosystems and accelerators to run group sessions combined with one‑to‑one mentorship, to help your businesses scale quicker.
