I specialise in helping business founders & entrepreneurial CEOs remove their blockers to profitable business growth; be they strategy, marketing & sales, people, finance or data/systems/process. Helping clients augment with AI & start their journey to become Exponential Organizations is my data science evolution; from launching data warehousing during the introduction of supermarket loyalty cards in the early '00s to leading software-to-SaaS company transformations thereafter. AI Coach Scarlio is my co-pilot GPT built on OpenAI's GPT4o.The 'Extreme Balance' aspect of my purpose & mission relates to my belief (& experience) that founders can have it all if they get their balance right. This isn't about ignoring critical aspects of human/ founder thriving. It's about diligent focus on all of those aspects & not succumbing to founder myths.I act as a combination of chairperson, non-exec, mentor & coach for businesses prior to professional management/ investment and beyond: typically for as long as the founders are still involved. I also invest in the stars. I work globally in person with my team via Scarlet, & remotely via my Constant Mentor intervention software. I am different because I split my time equally between helping clients grow their businesses and running & investing in businesses. I have always believed in - and continually apply - the benefits of working in and with businesses across a wide range of sectors. This enables me to challenge that industry's thinking with a range of business & commercial models and ways of operating from 'outside'. I focus on growth through people: leading people in leading companies.FTSE 100 plc to start up SME sector experience spans:- digital (agency to product), software (.NET, Wordpress & Drupal)/ SaaS/ apps, hardware, IT infrastructure & comms.- video, social, SEO, content, design, marketing & PR agencies.- fashion, jewellery, property & retail (online, chain & specialist inc. supply chain)- financial services, legal, recruitment, training & specialist consultants- leisure, specialist travel, music/ club/ DJ, restaurant & bars, coffee and wine businesses- veterinary, DNA, physiotherapy, nutrition and sports coachingSpeciality services: CEO & board-level mentoring, coaching, leadership, strategy, vision and goal-setting.
