    Achievements

    I founded CloudMade in 2007, raised three rounds of venture capital funding, pivoted the business three times and exited to Valeo, a French CAC40 automotive supplier.

    CloudMade now works with 7 car makers who are adopting its intelligent vehicle solutions, has over 100 employees in 6 global locations and is investing heavily in its machine learning technology roadmap.

    In 2012-13 I pivoted CloudMade into the automotive industry and opened up business with car makers in Germany, France and the US. I put in place a B2B sales model and a product value proposition that let a 25 person startup successfully sell into some of the biggest industrial companies in the world.

    What I'm Looking For

    Early stage automotive/mobility startups with innovative tech looking to develop their business models and sell into automotive OEMs and Tier 1s.

    I keep an eye on developments in genetics, health and fitness, well bing and coffee supply and tech. I'd love to talk to any founders in these areas.
