My "Professional" Timeline.

This is the newest chapter and the one that feels most like me. Smaller team, faster decisions, and a lot more ownership across the commercial side of the business.

A lot of my time goes into sharpening positioning, speaking to users, turning vague ideas into offers people actually understand, and helping make the whole thing real in market instead of just interesting in theory.

This was the big-company chapter. London, fintech, a lot more moving parts, and a front-row seat to how decisions travel across a very large machine.

Working close to the Enterprise Chief of Staff meant seeing how priorities get set, translated, and pushed through large teams. I learned a lot about strategic communication, stakeholder alignment, and how much execution depends on getting the narrative and coordination right, not just the idea.

Berlin was my first proper taste of startup pace. At Lunar X I worked on market research, financial modelling, pitch material, and validating investment opportunities in digital media.

It was the first time I saw how a small team thinks about markets, narrative, risk, and upside all at once. That chapter made startup work feel tangible instead of abstract.

This was the university stretch. Neuroscience came first, but there was never some master plan behind it. I chose it because I was fascinated by the brain and wanted to understand how people work at the deepest level: behaviour, perception, consciousness, and all the big questions that sit underneath being human.

Over time I learned that while I loved the subject, I was not made for a life in the lab. That pushed me toward the other thing I had always been drawn to: technology, innovation, and the way companies build an edge or slowly lose it by failing to adapt. Bath became the bridge into that world, where I could study how technology organisations run, change, commercialise ideas, and actually make things happen.

Military service in Salzburg was a hard reset: early mornings, tired bodies, repetitive routines, and a system that cared a lot more about reliability than whether you felt inspired that day.

It taught patience, structure, and the value of doing small things properly. More than expected, it became one of those chapters that helped toughen the edges a bit.

Coached football, helped with fundraising, and got a first real lesson in perspective. It is one of those chapters that sticks with you.
