I help Purpose-Led eComm and CPG founders turn Chaos & Confusion into Clarity & Confidence through Free Content, Affordable Courses and 1:1 Coaching. My unique approach to working with 7-figure founders helps them identify their individual strengths, and leveraging those strengths to help them build a more financially sustainable business. I have 23 years of global experience in Finance, Startups, Investment Banking, eCommerce and CPG. If you're the founder of an early-stage Food, CPG, or eComm brand and you: => Struggle with knowing when or how to draw a salary => Want to raise capital => Need assistance plotting a pathway to profitability => Require help defining and monitoring KPIs for meaningful growth 📞 Let's chat! Send me a message to connect. 📞 Here's why I could be a great fit for you: Hands-on Experience: I have owned and operated my own brand. I understand the stress of managing payroll and funding purchase orders. Before implementing new strategies with clients, I test them on my own company. Extensive Financial Background: With nearly a decade working at an Investment Bank on Wall St., I am well-versed in financial models. Unlike accountants who focus on the past, I have almost 10 years of experience predicting the future with numbers, including financial forecasting, valuation methods, and investor relations. Mentorship Expertise: As a Lead Mentor for the Food Future Co accelerator program, I prepare founders for their next raise. I focus on physical product companies and have a broad network in this area, offering support beyond just numbers. Quick Bio: 🚀 Engineering Background: I studied Engineering in undergrad and transitioned to Investment Banking in my mid-20s, enjoying a decade-long global career as an Equity Research Analyst across Australia, Canada, and the US. 🚀 MBA Achievements: After leaving banking in 2015, I pursued an MBA with a focus on VC and Entrepreneurship, completing 90 credits instead of the required 60. 🚀 Entrepreneurial Success: In 2017, I launched Urban Leaf, bootstrapping the company from a $40K Kickstarter campaign to a 7-figure brand. 🚀 Mentoring Role: I began mentoring with Food Future Co, quickly becoming a Lead Mentor. I meet with cohort companies weekly, helping them overcome bottlenecks and solve critical issues. 🚀 Fractional CFO Business: In 2024, recognizing the challenges of financial literacy for early-stage brands, I launched my own Fractional CFO business to support these companies.
