About
Serial British entrepreneur, cofounder and author with over 20 years of executive-level experience building and scaling innovative, enterprise B2B2C startups. I’m currently focused on Product, Marketing and Business Development at Vault12, the pioneer of crypto inheritance. Across eight startups I’ve raised more than $100M in funding and delivered five successful exits. I work closely with high-performing sales teams on deals ranging from $250K to $16M, crafting the marketing strategies and programmes that accelerate the sales cycle. I keep a close eye on the innovations shaping what comes next — AI, blockchain, crypto and zero-knowledge (ZK) among them. Recently I authored a book, “Who holds the key?”, an everyday guide to cryptography, passwords, crypto wallets, and navigating the technology that protects your privacy in the modern world. I’ve also been actively involved in regulatory initiatives on both sides of the Atlantic, providing feedback to the SEC and CFTC in the US and the FCA in the UK. My focus has been on building momentum for innovation and startups, and on advancing regulatory passporting across the market frameworks of both countries. Selected highlights: As found
