Former CEO. Serial Entrepreneur. Founder Mentor.
Building the future of healthy ageing
I'm an entrepreneur, operator and mentor with more than 25 years' experience building consumer businesses.
Today I'm particularly interested in helping founders, investors and organisations developing products and services that help people live longer, healthier lives.
My experience includes building one of Europe's leading dementia businesses, mentoring healthy ageing startups through Zinc VC, and helping founders navigate difficult commercial decisions.
These days I work flexibly with founders and organisations— sometimes as a mentor and sounding board, sometimes more hands-on for a period of time when something important needs shaping or moving forward.
Based in Málaga. Working locally and remotely
Why Healthy Ageing?
Healthy ageing is becoming one of the defining challenges—and opportunities—of our generation.
We're living longer.
AI is transforming healthcare.
Consumers are taking greater responsibility for their own wellbeing.
Healthcare is shifting from treating disease towards preventing it.
I believe one of the greatest opportunities over the next twenty years is helping people add healthy years to life—not simply years to life.
This isn't just a professional interest.
It's personal.
Like many people in their sixties, I'm increasingly interested in understanding what really helps us live healthier, more independent lives for longer.
Where I can help
I typically work with founders and organisations who are:
developing consumer health or healthy ageing products
building digital health businesses
exploring dementia, brain health or prevention
refining strategy or product direction
preparing for growth or investment
facing important commercial decisions
Sometimes that's through mentoring.
Sometimes it's more hands-on operational support.
Why founders and organisations reach out
Most people don't need support all the time.
They reach out when:
priorities become unclear
growth slows
difficult decisions need making
product direction needs refining
customer understanding needs improving
experience from someone who's been there could help avoid expensive mistakes
How I work
Three simple models.
Discovery conversations
One-off sessions around an important decision.
Ongoing mentoring
Regular conversations during periods of growth or uncertainty.
Fractional operational support
Part-time involvement helping move an important project or business forward.
If you're building something that could help people live longer, healthier lives—and think I might be useful—I’d be happy to have a conversation.
