Consultancy

The idea for my first book, Thanks for Sharing, which is the first and only consumer book about the sharing economy, didn't come out of nowhere. I've been immersed in the sharing economy for the best part of a decade, co-founded the Sharing Economy Global Summit, and was a board member of Sharing Economy UK, the UK trade body in partnership with the CBI. Now, I sit on the advisory board of some of the most innovative sharing and circular companies around the world.

​

So, I'm not only uniquely positioned to write about the sharing and circular economy (and I still do, for magazines and newspapers), but, and I don't mean to brag, I'm also exceptionally qualified to help businesses in this space. That's why I mentor sharing and circular startups for Barclays Eagle Labs and Techscaler, and consult for a range of different businesses in this space, from circular fashion to carshare, and skillsharing to electrical recycling.

​

I can turn my hand to scoping early-stage ideas, helping founders get clarity on their model, or supporting more established businesses in entering new territories and finding partners and collaborators. Thanks to my background in advertising, media and journalism, I can also help tell a compelling brand story, use the right messaging, write a standout deck, and approach the press with confidence. I even help corporates who want to discover opportunities in sharing and circularity. For me, it's more than just passing on ideas; it's about providing valuable insights and actionable steps, making connections, and offering insider tips with a clear roadmap.

For businesses that don't want a long-term relationship, I don't take it personally, and instead offer workshops and power hours for help with specific areas. Read more about them here, or email me to find out more.
