About
I’ve spent 10+ years inside payments banking — as Head of Fintech, Head of Sales, COO, and Head of Product at UK regulated Banks, multinational payment providers and crypto platforms.
At my peak, I was responsible for client relationships running billions of pounds in payments every year. I helped break new ground in the UK market, building out services for the crypto industry when most banks wouldn’t touch it, and developing early Banking-as-a-Service propositions. I even built an AI-powered due diligence tool to help financial institutions make smarter decisions about who they serve.
But I also watched too many legitimate businesses lose their banking overnight — not because they’d done anything wrong, but because they didn’t fit neatly into someone’s risk model. I got tired of being on the side that couldn’t help them.
Now I use what I learned on the inside to help businesses navigate a system that was never designed with them in mind.
How I work
I’m an independent advisor, not a payment provider. I work with multiple partners across traditional banking rails and emerging solutions, recommending what actually fits your situation — not what pays me the highest commission.
My value is the expertise: helping you understand your options, avoid costly mistakes, and find payment infrastructure that works for how your business actually operates.
