Looking forGTM, Founder's Associate, Partnerships and VC Analyst roles
Commercially minded, ambitious and confident, I think from first principles. I've spent four years on marketing, partnerships and experiential campaigns for global brands like Disney, F1 and the Premier League. Now I build AI products that turn expensive problems into businesses.

Brands
18 brands. 7 sectors. 4 years.
Marketing, strategic partnerships and experiential campaigns for global brands, from sport and entertainment to finance, automotive and telecoms. Different sectors, one commercial lens.
Approach
First principles, every time.
- Find an expensive problem. Unlicensed remixes, untested theses, unmeasured sponsorships.
- Build the thesis. Why it has to exist, and why now.
- Make the hard part exact. Rights, valuations and money run on rules you can test.
- Ship, then sharpen. The smallest true version goes live first. Real use decides what's next.
Respin
Genre flips, mash-ups and remixes to market a label's artists.
Respin splits a track into its stems and rebuilds it as a genre flip, mashup, sped up or slowed version. No AI generation. Every output is real music. A production grade tool for labels to unlock brand new revenue streams where the upside is uncapped.
The gap
Versions are becoming a business labels don't own yet. Spotify, Udio and Hook now license fan remixes, made on someone else's platform at whatever quality the tool allows. Labels just take a licence share.
The play
The version is the marketing, so the label should make it. Respin turns a label's own masters into flips, mashups and sped-up versions. The label tests them, releases the winners and owns every one.
Hindsight
A thesis, graded by time.
Every fund has a thesis, but no tool shows how it would have performed in a given year. Hindsight does. Write an investment thesis in plain English and pick a time frame. Hindsight shows the companies that fit it, the VC funds that backed the winners, and the companies today that share the winners' growth signals.
Open HindsightFinancial Bridging Lead Gen
Finance leads a regulator would sign off.
A lead engine for a commercial finance broker. For a B2B service, a steady flow of quality leads makes or breaks the business, yet few firms invest in the systems behind it. This one spots property companies likely to need bridging finance in public records, finds the right director's email and phone number, sends automated outreach and follows up fast on every reply.
Verdict
Understanding your sponsorships, from signed rights to renewal.
For brands with a portfolio of sponsorships. Contracts go in once the partnership begins. Track every right you bought and how it's being activated. Measure each partnership against your business objectives and return on objectives, benchmark it against the rest, and walk into renewal with the evidence you need.
