Founder & Operator
building AI-enabled
ventures
I help organisations ship AI into the way they actually operate — and I do it across my own portfolio too. Operator-led. No fluff. In production.
Find Your Lane
Three distinct areas of work — pick the one that fits where you're at.
I help organisations ship AI into the way they actually operate — readiness, use cases, operating model, delivery. No fluff, just working systems.
- Readiness assessment
- Use case identification
- Operating model design
- Operator-led delivery
What I'm building, why, and what's next. I invest time, capital and operator hours into ventures across travel, luxury, food, parenting, remote work, games and sport.
- Fourteen venture families
- Open to co-founders
- UK / GCC / EU / US
- Operator not just investor
Building AI into products and systems, not just workflows. Agent fleets running live operations across the portfolio — and, from 2026, agentic engineering inside power electronics hardware at QPT.
- Agentic Software Engineer, QPT
- 100+ production builds
- Top 0.03% of Base44 builders
- Agent fleets in production, not demos

AI Operating System
This is what I'm actually running across my portfolio. Agent teams, automated workflows, governance layers — AI doing the work, not just the talking.
Runs daily operations checks, flags anomalies, escalates to humans only when needed.
Drafts social copy, email sequences and blog outlines from a single brief.
Automated quality checks on builds, copy, and data pipelines before anything goes live.
Monitors key growth signals and surfaces weekly insight summaries with recommended actions.
First-line response and triage for inbound queries — escalates to humans only when needed.
Human-in-the-loop approval flows so nothing ships without the right sign-off.
Idea → draft → review → publish — a fully automated workflow from brief to live post.
Weekly performance reports assembled and delivered automatically. No spreadsheet wrangling.
Base44, OpenAI, Zapier, Notion, Slack — connected and talking to each other in production.
Budget caps, output reviews, brand tone filters — AI running fast with the right fences around it.

Ventures I'm Building
My own products, joint ventures and client builds — all running the same AI operating layer: optimised setups, automated workflows, near-zero AI costs, and R&D on tap.
Sporting Escapes Group
A specialist sports-travel group running on a 42-entity CRM with its own in-house AI copywriter.
Specialist sports-travel brands — golf breaks, football getaways, F1 weekends and padel trips — sitting on a full lead → quote → invoice → payment → customer-portal engine, built and verified end to end. Underneath the four live brand sites is a 42-entity system: leads, opportunities, quotes, bookings, payments, suppliers, partner inventory, resorts, packages, SEO pages, redirect rules and audit events. It is a travel CRM, not a set of brochure sites. The distinctive piece is Esca — an in-house agent with its own drafting entity and dedicated routes. Ask Esca to draft an email, social post or web copy for any package, event or offer and it finds the right live inventory and drafts against it, for human review. An LLM copywriter wired to real stock, inside a real operating system.
Cherished Group
A luxury lifestyle group — six brands, one multi-tenant CRM keyed on group and brand.
Cherished moments deserve extraordinary places. A luxury lifestyle group curating extraordinary wedding venues, retreats, honeymoons, celebrations, travel and experiences across the UK. Six consumer brands sit in front of one shared 24-entity CRM. Every record is keyed on group and brand, and enquiries captured on any sub-brand forward into the central portal with full delivery state tracked — forwarded lead, timestamp, and the error if it failed. It is the same schema shape that runs Sporting Escapes Group, deployed into a completely different industry. That is the actual asset: a reusable multi-brand group operating system, proven twice.
Remote Work Anywhere
A 0–100 Work-From-Here score built only from filed field reports — never scraped, never estimated.
Find cafés, libraries, pubs and coworking desks where the wifi actually survives a call — filtered by measured speed, power, noise and whether laptops are welcome. Every spot score is computed from field reports filed by real people. Six signals — team-timezone overlap, cost, wifi, weather, visa and safety — are fused into one 0–100 score, weighted to what the trip is actually for. A team offsite puts 0.42 on overlap; a focus trip puts 0.28 on wifi. The part worth stealing is the honesty. A signal with no data is excluded from the weighted average, the remaining weights are renormalised to sum to 1, and those renormalised weights are handed back to the client — so the interface can show you what the score was actually made of. When a data source proved unreliable (map-derived neighbourhoods agreed with human entry only 38% of the time) the field was left empty rather than filled with something plausible.
Play Fund Win
A regulated, multi-tenant fundraising platform used by 1,000+ clubs, charities and foundations.
Play Fund Win runs digital 50/50s, prize draws and prediction games that raise money for clubs, charities and foundations while deepening fan connection. Beyond the sports story, it is the systems credential: a regulated, multi-tenant, money-moving platform operating across 1,000+ organisations, from Wrexham to Sydney FC. Licensing, payouts, tenant isolation, matchday load and audit — all in production, all with real money and real compliance obligations attached. That operating experience is what transfers. The industry happens to be sport.
Energy Partners
Commercial EV charging with nothing to pay up front — and a full sales CRM built into the same app.

Health Scares & Empires
Survived multiple collapsed lungs and major kidney surgeries. While bed-bound, kept building online empires. If adversity fuels innovation, I'm basically rocket-powered. Now feeling the healthiest I have ever felt!
