Project details
If you're looking to raise funds, being "investment ready" is essential. In my experience, only well-structured, data-driven business plans have a strong chance of securing funding within a reasonable timeframe and negotiating a favourable deal. Unfortunately, I’ve seen startups spend over a year refining their pitch, making countless revisions, or even giving away 40% to 50% equity—only to believe they got a good deal.
A truly "investment ready" business plan includes:
• Well-researched and validated insights (e.g., market size, competition, unique benefits)
• Data-driven analysis rather than vague statements (e.g., avoiding terms like "too expensive" or "takes too long")
• A clear strategic roadmap for Years 3 to 5
• Realistic financials and projections, including company valuation, business model, and exit strategy
• A capable team to effectively execute the strategy
Ensuring these elements are in place can dramatically improve your chances of attracting the right investors and securing a strong deal.

Dubai - United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates - 8:31 am local time
✔ Advised 200+ startups and SMEs globally
✔ Supported fundraising initiatives exceeding $25M+
✔ 10 years in leadership roles at GE
✔ Top Rated with 100% Job Success Score
✔ Startup Mentor at Surrey University and Ignyte
Since 2019, I have worked full time as a Strategic Advisor and Fractional COO, partnering with founders, leadership teams, investors, and portfolio companies across growth, fundraising, operational transformation, and scaling initiatives.
I combine the discipline, governance, and execution rigor developed during 10 years in leadership roles at GE with the agility and hands on approach required in startups and growing businesses.
Unlike specialists focused on a single function, I operate across the business with a 360 degree perspective, aligning people, processes, technology, finance, operations, culture, and governance around common objectives. My role is often to act as the glue between leadership, investors, teams, and external stakeholders, ensuring priorities are clear, communication flows effectively, and execution remains on track.
How I Help
✔ Fractional COO and Operational Leadership
✔ Strategic Planning and Execution
✔ Startup Growth and Scaling
✔ Fundraising Readiness, Financial Modelling, and Investor Materials
✔ KPI, OKR, and Performance Management Frameworks
✔ Business Transformation and Process Optimisation
✔ Cross Functional Leadership Across Product, Technology, Operations, Finance, and Commercial Teams
✔ Stakeholder Management Across Leadership Teams, Investors, Boards, Clients, and Partners
My Approach
I do not just provide recommendations. I work closely with leadership teams to drive execution, remove bottlenecks, align stakeholders, improve communication, establish accountability, and ensure initiatives translate into measurable business outcomes.
I am highly data driven, hands on, and comfortable operating in ambiguous environments where priorities evolve quickly and information is incomplete. Whether supporting a startup preparing for its first funding round or a growing business navigating a complex transition, my focus is always the same: helping leadership teams make better decisions, align priorities, and execute with confidence.
If you need a strategic partner who can operate across the business, connect strategy with execution, and help your organisation move forward with greater clarity, alignment, and momentum, let's talk.
