AboutThe Founder

Two decades of strategy. Now available to growing businesses.

I’ve spent 20 years running strategy in financial services — retail, wealth management, digital transformation. The pattern I kept seeing: brilliant strategy that never quite makes it into the operating rhythm of the business. AxEndance is what I built to close that gap.

The Path

Why I built this.

Here’s the part most founders don’t say: I’ve been in that moment myself. For years, I was balancing a senior strategy role with side ventures, investment property, and the early shape of AxEndance. Sundays became prep days for Mondays. Decisions stacked up. The frameworks I’d worked with for two decades weren’t enough to keep me out of the trap I now help clients see: I was getting really good at running a job, not building a scalable business. AxEndance is partly the answer I’m still building for myself.

That’s why when this moment shows up with my clients — the one where they get quiet, sometimes mid-call, sometimes a few days later — I recognize it instantly. They see, clearly, that what they’ve been building isn’t a business. It’s a really good job for themselves. AxEndance is what I built for that moment: to solve the freedom and scalability problem, so they can finally have a business.
