Hassle.com was founded by Jules Coleman and Alexandra Depledge. I joined prior to the $6M Series A led by Accel Partners and led the first international expansion drive into Dublin and subsequently centralised management of the market to the London HQ. Responsibilities included setting up local operations, office, hiring staff and coordinating a large scale PR and marketing campaign that spanned Irish radio, public transport, newspapers and digital channels. The Irish market exceeded expectations. This positioned me to deliver a first version of international expansion 'playbook'​ for Hassle.com which was then used to launch the French market.About 9 months later (July 2015), Hassle.com was acquired by a German company for €32M based on performance/positioning across the UK, Irish and French markets. Left Hassle.com to set up Dogpatch.
