ABOUT ME
An experienced senior technology and business strategy leader with 15 years of commercial experience. Previous leadership roles at General Electric (GE) and FundedByMe (crowdfunding platform).
Recognised as an effective leader and communicator because of leading large-scale projects in very complex multi-geographical environments. Having a strong ability to coordinate cross-functional teams, design lean roadmap keeping in mind the “big picture” and act efficiently both strategically and tactically. Created my own start-up from scratch by successfully translating the concept from paper into a trading product. Developed the investor pitch, networked with angel investors, secured seed funding and led a team of 15 to develop the product and run the business.
ABOUT VESTIGOS
I am the co-owner of a small advisory firm called Vestigos.com. We mentor, advise and guide 50+ start-ups (pre-seed to Series B, C stages) and SME’s in the Middle East, US and Europe.
The whole team has 15+ years of corporate experience in exceptionally large organisations like GE, HSBC, VISA, etc. plus great knowledge of the overall start-up and funding ecosystem. We combine the best of the corporate and the start-up worlds.
We offer different type of tailor-made services such as
FUNDING PREPARATION
We either help or create “state-of-the-art” business cases and investor pitches. We transform ideas into attractive investment opportunities where a potential investor can understand the business value of a proposal in matter of 2-3 minutes.
MARKET NETWORKING
We have a very large global network of contacts in the corporate world (e.g. banks, O&G, energy, retail) who are looking for new technologies / services / products. We connect highly disruptive start-ups / SMEs with corporates.
SCALE UP STRATEGY
We design, execute and run growth and scaling up strategies. Our approach is taking into considerations People, Processes, Technology, Culture, Change Management, etc. Please have a look at our video.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE
We have led very complex projects, so we have strong ability to either run projects effectively (in terms of quality, cost, resources, timelines, etc.) or setup a Project Management Office capability to manage multiple projects running simultaneously.
INVESTMENT
We assist companies to secure investment by getting involved on all stages (e.g. matching with investors, arranging demos / pitching, negotiations, deal closure, etc.). We are linked with various VCs, Family Offices, Angel Investors and Equity / Debt funding platforms.
DUE DILIGENCE (DD)
We carry out DD on behalf of investors to ensure their investment is viable. We use a 120-questionnaire scoring mechanism where we assess the market size, competition, financials, technology, security, team, etc of a start-up. Our DD can be customized just on the technology and / or security.
