United Kingdom - Thames Ditton, England

I'm a passionate entrepreneur with experience in starting, building and exiting software businesses. I love creating products that get people using technology whether that's at a live event or online.

I currently am the CEO and Co-Founder at Coopah - the run coaching app.

We guarantee you can beat your running goals and the official training app to the TCS London Marathon.

Get instant, personalised, training plans. Join the community, chat to your coach 24/7 and hit your goals.

I am also the Chairman of Xi. Xi creates digital, interactive experiences in physical spaces;
brought to life by our in-house technology platform and is a business I started in 2013 (then Eventstagr.am and sold to the in ur face group in 2020).

I also advise, invest in and mentor other founders whenever the offer is there to help a passionate, smart person with their dream.

My journey:

- My first business experience came through Young Enterprise at 16 years old, where I was MD of the first ever company to execute a take over of another firm.

- I loved my time at Adidas as a graduate but after 18 months felt the need to start my own thing.

- I created a number of businesses in fashion, creating celebrity licensed clothing ranges and creating a brand which was eventually sold to New Look.

- Keen to build a technology business I partnered with Ollie Harridge to create a live social media wall business in 2013.

- In 2015 we received £1.5m of investment to scale the business globally. We evolved it into EventsTag, the leading experiential technology provider in the world.

- In 2018 we started We Are Interact, focussing on developing technology solutions for attractions and retail.

- In 2020 when COVID struck we sold our US business EventsTag to management and bought out our investors, becoming fully independent.

- In 2020 I co-founded HomeWerk to solve the problem of remote teambuilding for busy managers.

- In 2020 I sold EventsTag and We Are Interact to inurface media group, which later rebranded it as Xi.

- In 2022 I became the CEO and Co - founder of Coopah Running.

I'm fascinated with startup's, social media, marketing solutions and innovation and always looking to expand my knowledge and offer advice and support to those trying to make awesome stuff happen.

I have no interest in hearing from recruiters or outsourced development agencies I'm afraid, but nearly everyone else I'm always interested to hear from.
