People Intelligence

Who I Work With

I advise platforms that gather and analyse data on people, organisations, and professional networks - often for compliance, deal origination, recruitment, or reputation intelligence use cases. These businesses operate in a fast-moving environment where data quality, privacy, and commercial relevance are all critical.

• Inconsistent or hard-to-scale data collection and verification
   
• Growing privacy and regulatory complexity
   
• Difficulty demonstrating ROI to enterprise clients
   
• Fragmented products that limit cross-sell and growth
   
• Competitive pressure from newer, AI-driven entrants
   

People Intelligence has been my career focus for the past 20 years, I bring direct experience building people intelligence platforms and integrating them post-acquisition. My approach balances commercial insight, product pragmatism, and deep understanding of data workflows.

Typical support includes:

• Scalable data acquisition and verification strategies
   
• Privacy-first data monetisation models
   
• Relationship mapping and network analysis enhancements
   
• Harmonising public, proprietary, and third-party data sources
   
• Cross-platform product strategy and upsell design
   
• Readiness for growth or strategic exit
   

You get more than advice - you get a commercial partner who’s worked through the same issues. I understand the operational realities of people-data businesses and tailor my input to your stage and ambition.

Whether you’re professionalising operations post-investment, repositioning the product, or scaling internationally - I help sharpen focus and unlock growth.
