Bio from Lee

Disruptive with ideas, pragmatic with execution

I have a depth of experience and knowledge in financial services technology due to COO / Chief of Staff roles across my career, that spans over 24 years and I have also run a successful coaching practice alongside this for over 16 years. I am a blend of risk-taking, change-making creativity, with the security, safety and logic of a COO who can implement change and growth without any dramas.

My mission is to build a strong startup democracy. I break down barriers to starting and growing a business and growing into successful organisations of the future. With Your Startup Partner, I have created a model that focuses on practical and strategic advice and support, helping business owners learn how to run their business so their operations build a solid foundation on which to scale. The focus is on strong external go to market strategy and strong Internal operational strategy so they can grow with confidence.
