I started in business at the young age of 16 doing direct sales and progressed to owning my first franchise business by the age of 18. Over 8 years I grew my first business to a multi-million dollar business with over 10 managers, 80 staff and 25,000 customers and then sold it when I was 26. I then took up a position with the company I sold it to and proudly held the position of National Sales Director for the largest direct sales company in Canada servicing over 400,000 homes specializing in property beautification services. Then I founded GoWrench Auto "The Uber of Mechanics". We bring "Auto Repairs, Tires and More Right to Your Door". We’ve innovated the entire automotive industry and sold to some of the biggest companies and government clients. GoWrench continues to achieve impressive growth and has recently started franchising with new franchisees starting up in more and more areas. Next is GoLearn.io. Throughout my 20+ years of experience and countless speaking engagements, I had so many business owners and executives ask for my help and advice so I started an agency called GoLearn.io doing exactly that. Since then we’ve helped frustrated and burnt out business owners / executives to fix issues in their business and achieve new growth. We specialize in customer acquisition, sales, marketing, operational efficiency, and fundraising. Certainly get in touch with us to see our case studies and learn how we can help you keep your sanity and grow your business.

Are you looking for someone to bring structure and clarity - and run operations - so you can focus on being CEO? Are you looking for someone to manage and improve your operations? Do you need someone to handle pressing projects or support your daily priorities? I am a COO with 15+ years of experience bridging the gap between vision and execution. I specialise in resolving scaling friction for founders by implementing the structures, clarity, and accountability needed to move from a "startup" mindset to a high-performance engine. Proven track record across 30+ projects in defining clear ownership, building SOP playbooks, and establishing real-time KPI visibility. I own the "How" of daily operations so leadership can reclaim their time to focus on the "Why" of strategy and growth. Examples of recent projects: Operational Turnaround: Restored profitability for a US-based firm by implementing cost discipline, margin management, and a new governance structure. Structure and Clarity: Established roles, roadmaps, and communication protocols for a French startup; increased team output by ~3x in two weeks by eliminating duplicate work and improving accountability. Operational Oversight: Owned end-to-end Finance, Sales, and Reporting processes (incl. Governance and KPIs), ensuring executive visibility and 100% accountability across remote teams. Core Competencies: Clarity & Structure: Defining roles, roadmaps, and SOP playbooks to eliminate scaling friction and ensure every team member understands their priorities. Execution & Visibility: Managing daily operations and accountability through OKR implementation, team syncs, and "single source of truth" dashboards (Asana/ClickUp) for real-time KPI tracking. Strategy & Growth: Leading business model innovation, rigorous P&L management, and venture architecture to secure long-term profitability and scalability.

Most companies have accounting. Very few have investor-ready financial models that support fundraising, runway planning, pricing decisions, and major growth scenarios. I help founders and leadership teams build investor-ready financial models used for capital raises, lender conversations, expansion planning, and board-level decision support. Typical engagements include: • 3-statement financial forecasts • 12–36 month runway and burn models • Revenue build-up and unit economics modelling • Scenario and sensitivity analysis • Pricing and expansion decision models • Lender-ready and investor-ready projection structures Most engagements begin with structuring assumptions architecture before projection layers are built. I am a Chartered Accountant (ACA) and strategic finance leader with 20+ years of experience supporting financial planning, capital structuring, and operational finance across telecom, technology, fintech, and consumer businesses. My work has supported transactions exceeding $260M+ across capital raises, infrastructure financing, and corporate finance initiatives, including large-scale telecom funding environments and consumer sector expansion programs. These models are typically used to support investor discussions, internal planning decisions, and lender-facing projection environments rather than internal reporting workflows. FINANCIAL MODELING FOR FUNDRAISING & DECISION SUPPORT I support startups and growth-stage companies preparing for: • Seed and growth capital raises • Lender readiness and debt discussions • Runway visibility and burn planning • Pricing and margin strategy decisions • Expansion scenario planning • Board and leadership forecasting environments This work typically includes: • Investor-ready financial models • Scenario planning and sensitivity analysis • Revenue driver modelling • Unit economics frameworks • Business valuation support models • Strategic planning projection environments STRATEGIC FINANCE SUPPORT (SELECT ENGAGEMENTS) For selected engagements, I also support leadership teams with strategic finance input beyond the model itself where funding decisions, capital planning, or board preparation require it. This can include: • Cash flow strategy and runway planning • Budgeting and rolling forecasts • Capital structuring support • Profitability visibility frameworks • Decision-support reporting environments INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE My experience spans: • SaaS and technology companies • Telecommunications and infrastructure • Fintech and financial services • Food & beverage and consumer businesses Across these sectors, I support leadership teams in building structured financial projection environments that improve visibility, strengthen funding readiness, and support confident growth decisions. HOW I WORK I combine strategic finance thinking with hands-on financial model architecture. The focus is always to translate assumptions into clear projection structures that support real decisions rather than spreadsheet outputs alone. If helpful, I can outline the structure I would typically implement in the first stage of your model before you decide how you want to proceed.
