Yes, over the years I built up a rich experience in the Startup/ Scaleup industry while working with many scaleup founders. I’m passionate about coaching and the impact that great leaders have on business performance and management strategy when scaling businesses.
I work with companies from the early stages of scaling to the ones expanding to new territories.
I have worked with very early stages startups when I first became a coach 10+ years ago. Scaleup businesses were a natural progression. Leadership is a subject I’m very passionate about. I wish more founders realised that when they start a business, they are not only building a product and service - they are building a culture. The question they need to ask themselves is what sort of business culture are they building and the impact that this will have in the long term in their companies. Will it support and strengthen their growth or will end up bringing them down.
When you are in the startup stages, the focus many times goes in building the company, the product, raising investments, cash flow, and the entrepreneur's forget about themselves. In the scale up stages, having a team and a business culture that will support the growth challenges of the company.
These are a few of the common things I have encountered
As a leader, your responsibility is not only with your business but with yourself. The more you develop yourself and your team, the more chances you'll have a successful and sustainable business
Work with more companies expanding abroad. I co-founded Latam Tech UK a soft landing boutique that specialises in supporting companies coming from Latin America to the UK and vice versa. This was a result of the experience we have from the Tech Awards we organised.
The fourth edition of Latam Edge Award will take place during London Tech Week on June 11th, 2019
In November, we launched the first edition Brazil Tech Award in Sao Paulo and on the 21st of February we are doing the launch in London.
The awards are for scaleup companies ready to expand into new territories.
I try to have a simple approach to writing and sharing my own experiences and coaching my clients. Hopefully your readers will identify with some of them and find them useful.
The launch of Latam Tech UK and having the opportunity to coach and share the business and personal journeys of bright and inspiring Tech Entrepreneurs.
