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…
Founders, leaders and execs face a very specific kind of pressure combined with a unique loneliness from being at the top.
I’ve been there. As founder, CTO, CPO with two decades of experience across games, creative tech and startups.
Now I use all of that hard-won knowledge to coach and advise people navigating the same challenges.
One-off session - £250
A 60-minute session for a specific problem, decision or moment that you need to think through with someone who’s been there. I’ll provide a sounding board and external perspective to help you through studio pivots, funding conversations, team dynamics…whatever you’re struggling with.
What I help with
Leadership and confidence, especially for first-time founders and execs new to games, creative tech or startups
Navigating funding pressure, redundancies, and industry turbulence
Team culture and dynamics, including hybrid and remote setups
Roadmaps, production pipelines and go-to-market strategy

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.
