WORK WITH ME

Entrepreneur, Key Opinion Leader, Innovator, and Mentor

At 16, I was selling jewellery from a suitcase in Camden Market. By 23, after seeing how innovative businesses were shut out by traditional banks, I co-founded Capitalixe to challenge the system and create fair access to finance.

Today, Capitalixe is a multi seven-figure global fintech advisory operating across 140+ countries. Through a network of 100+ banking and payments partners, I’ve helped 100+ businesses secure global banking access, simplify compliance, and scale internationally. Capitalixe remains my primary business focus and the platform through which I continue to support founders and financial institutions worldwide. Learn more about Capitalixe →

Alongside fintech, I invest in real estate across Europe and Asia and mentor founders globally, with a strong focus on female-led businesses.

Mindset Mastery
CURRENT PURSUITS

I serve as the first ever iFX EXPO Brand Ambassador. I mentor founders, with a strong focus on supporting female founders in high barrier industries, and I work best with those willing to invest in structure and compliance.

Having travelled to 44+ countries, my mission is simple:

Give founders the access, clarity, and confidence they need to operate globally, scale fearlessly, and build wealth that lasts.

SERVICES

Multi-faceted expertise

Global Banking Access

Tap into my network of 100+ banking partners worldwide. I help you move from repeated bank rejections to institutions that understand your business, guiding you through onboarding and securing the right accounts for cross-border operations. This work is focused on medium and high risk industries and founders who are ready to operate with structure, clarity, and speed.

Compliance Guidance

Understand regulatory expectations with clarity and confidence. I provide direct guidance on documentation, risk assessments, and banking requirements so you know exactly what is needed to stay compliant. No unnecessary complexity. Just clear steps that allow your business to operate smoothly and scale without avoidable friction.

Growth & Strategy Support

Get strategic support to strengthen and grow your business. I work with founders to refine positioning, improve operational structure, and align their setup with long-term international growth. This is for businesses focused on building durable foundations, not short term fixes.

Thought Leadership

Through speaking on global fintech stages, hosting conversations with founders and industry leaders on my podcast, and contributing expert commentary to leading business publications, I use my experience and platform to influence industry thinking, create access, and drive meaningful conversations that lead to real opportunity.

I focus on sharing practical insights shaped by real-world execution, not theory. Every talk, conversation, and contribution is designed to help founders think bigger, navigate barriers, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
