Paul David Mather – I might have a few potential candidates for the founder mentor / industry expert roles but they’re all based in The Netherlands/Germany/Austria. Would that work, or do they need to be UK-based/have deep knowledge of the UK market?

Hey Rohan, thanks! We’re definitely interested in any relevant leaders and experts you know, regardless of geography. Do you want to introduce them to me by email perhaps? [email protected]

Paul – good to meet you. I do quite a lot of work mentoring leaders / leadership teams particualrly in areas of tech / disruption, much of it based around a Stanford Masters program i helped to put together on digital transformation, so a lot of the principles of that may be helpful in your journey.

Thanks for the invite!
I coach operations leaders in early stage startups how to get the best out of their most valuable resource, people. I tend to focus on operationally intensive startups with lots of boots on the ground e.g. last mile delivery, on demand services, gig economy platforms.
My professional background as a British Army officer and early employee at Deliveroo gives me the confidence to guide COOs, operations directors, and other managers facing similar challenges and opportunities.
I’ve been an independent advisor and coach for 3 years now and I love it. I also offers career mentoring to operations professionals, often looking beyond the scope of their current job.
Feel free to reach out if you want to learn more.

Looking for a quality freelancer to build an email list of target customers for a client selling B2B services. There’s obviously countless options out there but I need someone we can trust to produce actionable results, quickly and reliably. Who do you use?

One provides security services including manned guarding.

I’m open to offers and recommendations, preferably people you’ve directly worked with.
Thanks in advance!
