Impact-driven founder and strategic consultant with a proven track record of building ventures from ground zero. After launching and leading Shadow To Shine for over 5 years (scaling to 140+ corporate mentors and partnerships with Samsung, BP, TATA), I co-founded Hype&Genius in 2023, securing partnerships with Warner Brothers, Ditto and other industry leaders, engaging 1,200+ young people in just 12 months.As a self-starting woman from a diverse background, I bring lived experience and deep empathy to everything I build. My journey has given me a unique perspective on how tech and creativity can be powerful forces for change, particularly for underrepresented people. This understanding underpins all my work, from grassroots initiatives to high-level strategic partnerships.I pride myself on being a meticulous leader who can wear multiple hats effectively - from writing and executing comprehensive strategies to developing and delivering impactful programmes and curricula. My strength lies in turning vision into reality through careful planning, data-driven decision making, CRM implementation, and thorough impact monitoring and reporting. I've consistently demonstrated the ability to build and nurture strategic partnerships while maintaining attention to the smallest details that ensure success.Through my experience across higher education, start-ups, and charities, I've learned that success lies in the foundation - the systems, processes, and partnerships that transform ideas into realities. I've personally secured over £500K for various projects and helped start-ups raise £1.5M+, while developing expertise in governance, compliance, and building high-performing teams.I'm particularly passionate about supporting founders at the conception stage, especially those working to solve complex problems through innovative tech solutions and those focused on creating positive change for diverse communities. By handling back-end work, from legal compliance to funding documentation, I enable visionary founders to focus on what they do best. This hands-on approach, combined with my understanding of Gen Z engagement and creative industries, helps bridge the gap between innovative ideas and real-world impact.Currently in stealth mode building my next venture, while open to consulting on projects that align with my expertise. I'm excited about opportunities at the intersection of social impact, creative tech, and youth engagement - where I believe the most transformative innovations happen.
