Executive Coaching and Advisory
I’m just going to say it: It’s brutal out there.
Funding struggles, mass redundancies, countless pivots, tech that’s moving so fast it feels impossible to keep up…
I've been a founder, CTO and CPO across nearly two decades in games, creative tech and startups. Now I bring that hard-won experience to help you think through the difficult decisions: roadmaps, funding, pitching & investment, team structure, pivots and more.
It’s like having an extra c-suite person to give unbiased input on your company and project without the big salary overhead.
One-off session - £250 / hour
Book a single session when you need a sounding board for a specific problem or decision, or pre-pay a bundle of hours to use as you need them.

What I help with
Roadmaps, production pipelines and go-to-market strategy
Funding pressure, pitch deck reviews, redundancies and industry turbulence
Team culture and dynamics, including hybrid/remote setups
Studio pivots and difficult structural decisions
Advisory support for investors and incubators backing founders in games and creative tech
Who this is for
Founders building their first studio (or their fifth). Leaders in AAA, AA, indie, mobile or XR/AR/VR. Executives moving into games from broader tech. Investors and incubators wanting an honest, unbiased read on the people behind the pitch.
Why me
I've scaled teams, pitched investors, shipped games to millions of players, secured 7-figure funding twice, and navigated last-minute launches and brutal pivots. I've also battled burnout and imposter syndrome myself, which is exactly why I care as much about your wellbeing as your roadmap. Let's make sure your studio, your leadership and you can survive the next big launch.
