My work enables founders to make hard decisions and leads teams to deliver.
I help give your vision the best chance of success.
You, the brave founder, are diving head-first into uncharted waters. I founded Moonstory because I want to help you.
I want to bolster your skills, give you proven tools and be your sounding board. I want to support your decision-making and help you avoid pitfalls so that your vision has the best chance of success.
Founding teams are lean and a new senior hire can be a costly gamble in time, cash and equity.

I’ve always been excited by change. Growing up across three cultures, speaking two languages and moving home every few years meant change was the constant.
In my career, I actively sought out hands-on experience working through complex challenges in fast-paced environments full of ambiguity - this is my happy place.
As a result, over the last 10 years, I have accumulated a rich breadth of experience spanning startups and turnarounds.
I am now more able than ever to take on complex problems and navigate uncertainty with grace. No chaos here.
Experience has taught me that how you deal with change has a profound effect on not only the outcome of the situation but also your mental and physiological well-being.
In a startup, it can be the decider of your success or failure.
My passion and goal is to help founders be change and success ready - because I believe our future success depends on more, better and forward-thinking entrepreneurs.
Every founder is unique and each project is different.
I have a flexible approach that caters to each business’s needs and existing skillset.
My way of working has a strong bias towards action and every project will have a clear set of deliverables.
Working with me, you’ll also tap into my network of trusted professionals including developers, designers and marketers who can supplement your internal teams and help deliver results at pace.
These are the values that have served me well and continue to guide me.
The projects I take on are rarely a solo effort. They usually require tight collaboration with in-house or external specialists. I use these values to set expectations and keep everyone aligned on ways of working and succeeding.
We are perfectionists who strive to become masters of execution - intelligently, focussed and at pace.
Our efforts will always favour action over sustained thinking. We will act as soon as we know enough, never all.
We won’t waste time chasing the ever-elusive, perfect strategy.
Decision paralysis is our nemesis. We train to be comfortable wading through seas of grey. We make ambiguity our friend.
Our ways of working keep us grounded, sane and effective. We strive to pass these ways of working onto the teams we work with.
We believe that successful teams rely on the ability of each individual to make effective micro judgements and decisions in their day-to-day.
The quality of those decisions and actions will determine how well the team executes on its ideas.
Great processes only get you so far. Too much is unknown. That’s why we have a preference for helping people do better on their own, not writing better guide books.
We don't pretend to have all the answers. We believe the best ideas come from the collective wisdom of individuals with different views, experiences and areas of expertise.
Diversity in thought helps to prevent blindspots and achieve breakthroughs.
When it comes to understanding the customer, we favour learning directly from the customer base over relying solely on our or the founders' gut feel.
When it comes to teams, clients and suppliers, we seek like-minded partners. This means that they operate in flat structures where everyone has a voice. This also means that they demonstrate a willingness to prioritise diversity in their own hiring practices.

The initial consultation is of course free, so that we can get to know each other better first.
