About me

ALL MONEY IS DONATED TO A CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE! I help founders and companies rethink how they hire, build teams, and use AI to create a competitive advantage. I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of Alfa AI, an AI recruiting platform helping companies like Revolut and Google hire top talent. I invented Lisa, our AI Recruiter Agent, and have grown Alfa with backing from leading investors at a $6M+ valuation. Before becoming a founder, I was a UK National Lead at Hays Recruitment, giving me firsthand experience with how recruiting works at scale and where technology can fundamentally improve it. I also host DECODED, a business podcast with 200+ episodes and millions of views, featuring guests including Harry Stebbings, DHH, and leaders from Microsoft and Amazon. Alongside building Alfa, I’m an angel investor in early-stage European software companies and the author of Trust in Alfa. I love helping founders think through hiring, AI, company building, and the decisions that come with scaling a startup. If you’re building a company, hiring your team, exploring AI, or simply want to talk through a challenge with another founder, I’d love to connect on Hubble.
