Speaking
I speak about talent, tech, and breaking the mould
From boardrooms to lecture halls, I speak about what happens when talent gets overlooked — and what we can do about it. Startups, social mobility, AI, and building things that matter.

What I've spoken about recently
Zero to One: Building a Startup from Nothing
No co-founder, no network, no safety net. I walk through what it actually takes to go from an idea to a funded, scaling company — the fundraising, the failures, the moments you nearly walk away, and why you keep going.
The State of Social Mobility in the UK
Where you're born still determines where you end up. I break down what's really happening with social mobility in Britain — the data, the policy failures, and what needs to change if we're serious about fixing it.
AI, Inequality, and the Future of Work
AI is going to reshape the jobs market. The question is who it leaves behind. I look at what automation and AI mean for inequality — and why this could either be the great equaliser or make the gap even worse.
Building Products Gen Z Actually Loves
Gen Z doesn't think like the generations before them — and most companies are still building like they do. I talk about what this generation actually wants, how they use products, and what it takes to earn their loyalty.
