A Million Ads
Founder-Operator
I founded and led A Million Ads, where I pioneered dynamic creative technology for audio advertising and scaled the company from zero to international commercial success across the UK, US, and Europe.
As CEO, I operated across the full stack: product invention, go-to-market, revenue growth, fundraising, international expansion, and building high-performing cross-functional teams. I wrote the code for the first version of the tool before building a product and engineering team to scale.
I've taken ideas from first principles to shipped product, turned early traction into repeatable revenue, and helped businesses professionalise as they move from founder-led to institutional scale. I'm most effective where clarity, pace, and judgement matter, particularly in high-growth or transitional environments.
AI has been a practical part of my work for years, not a buzzword. Since 2018 I've embedded AI into production software, worked hands-on with model development and proprietary data, and used modern AI tools day-to-day to accelerate decision-making, prototyping, and delivery.
I'm now exploring senior operating roles (COO, revenue, or founder-right-hand) where I can bring leverage, calm, and momentum to ambitious teams scaling their next chapter.
