Career, Start-Up, Business Coach & Mentor Now Helping You Win Your Next Big Goal
Can I Help You Succeed?
Thank you for visiting my website. I love mentoring and coaching because without the impact of my own mentor, my life would have taken a very different path. Behind almost every inspiring success story, there’s a mentor helping to guide the way and that’s what I do: figure out where you want to go and help get you there.
My clients are all different from the stage they’re at, to the challenges they face, to the goals they want to achieve. I may not be the right fit for everyone, but if we work together my focus will be on clarity, results, and real progress.
If you’d like to learn more, you can explore the About section or my book The Junkyard Dog. And if you’d like to discuss your goals further, you’re welcome to book an introductory call or initial session.
I look forward to connecting with you.

How I Work
I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Once I understand your needs, I’ll create a bespoke plan tailored specifically to you.
I also don’t lock clients into long-term contracts. Some people choose to work with me for a single session, while others have continued for several years. The decision is always yours.
Please book an introductory call to discuss further.

My Story
I left school at 16 feeling lost and directionless. At 17, I found a mentor who changed my life, guiding me into London’s commercial real estate world.
By 24, I co-founded Hatton Real Estate, and by 30 we had grown it into a leading firm before selling to Colliers International for approximately $30M. None of this would have been possible without the guidance of my mentor — a lesson that shaped my belief in the power of mentorship.
Since then, I’ve been sought out for advice by entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals across industries — from real estate, fashion, and entertainment to sport, retail, and social media. My work has included advising brokers from Million Dollar Listing, helping companies raise over $10M on Dragon’s Den (the EU’s Shark Tank), and mentoring contestants on the UK’s The Apprentice. I’ve also advised the UK government under Prime Minister David Cameron on entrepreneurship.
Today, I split my time between New York, London, and Los Angeles, working one-to-one with clients who want clarity, strategy, and results. In 2023, I founded Platform Seven, an education and mentoring platform designed to equip the next generation with the tools traditional education never taught.
My full story is shared in my book, The Junkyard Dog.
