In 2009, whilst still at university, I started Poke, one of the UK's earliest social media marketing companies.
I then went on to co-found Crest, an award-winning PR agency. After leading the business to year-on-year growth, my shareholding was acquired in 2019.
After succesful exits from 2 x start-ups, I was appointed as a chief aide to a Member of Parliament and UK Government Cabinet Minister.
Following an eventful period in Westminster, which spanned the UK's withdrawal from the EU and onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, I returned to the private sector via my consulting business, advising executives who have led global businesses including Aston Martin, easyJet and Virgin Galactic.
Today, I am the founder of Nostrada AI, an artificial intelligence platform for government relations. I am also an adviser to advertising agency, M+C Saatchi and political consultancy, PLMR.
On screen, I regularly appear on BBC News, Sky News and Good Morning Britain to discuss business, politics and technology. I have also written various columns for The Times, Telegraph, City AM and others.
