The WELL Founder: Why Scaling the Company Isn’t Enough
Over the past few months, I’ve been working quietly on something that feels both overdue and deeply personal.

The Founder Identity Gap
I’ve spent more than 15 years scaling ventures across the UK, Europe and Africa in HealthTech, wellbeing, insights-as-a-service and digital transformation.

Scale Isn’t Speed - It’s Behaviour. Why HealthTech Stalls and What Founders Must Build Next.
Most people assume HealthTech stalls because founders run out of capital, market, or momentum. But after scaling four ventures across three continents, I’ve learned something very different:

The HealthTech Scaling Playbook: How Founders Break the 2–3× Growth Barrier
Most founders don’t fail because their product isn’t good.Â
They fail because they can’t scale what works.
The jump from £1 million to £10 million ARR isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing things differently. Systems, discipline, energy and proof begin to matter as much as passion.

The Reflective Founder
In 2023, I lost my company after being targeted by fraudulent investors. It wasn’t just the numbers or the contracts, it was the culmination of years of work, a £10m ARR pipeline, and a team I believed in. And in a matter of weeks, it was gone.

Not Just Data: Why HealthTech Must Design for Decisions, Not Dashboards
When I lost my father to a preventable illness, it shaped everything about how I approach health, business, and leadership. It taught me that information alone doesn’t save lives. We need to create an environment of action.
