Hi, I'm Jules.

Hi, I'm Jules.

Hi, I'm Jules.

I'm a serial entrepreneur, investor and advisor, with a rich background in international business, who lives and works in London & the Cotswolds. I grow businesses and partner with high growth startups, enterprise companies and venture firms.

With over 20 years experience driving innovation across a range of tech-fuelled projects, I’ve developed teams, strategies and companies, scaling ventures from inception to 300m+ businesses. And I'm still here to tell the tale. Just! 

Notable exits include Celeb (gaming) and LOT.TO (SaaS), which I founded in 2016, and built, then sold to Sportech. More recently, I led the expansion of the highly-regarded grassroots sports-technology app, Spond, scaling its user base across Europe to reach millions of monthly active users and teams.

A former athlete, I have a deep-rooted passion for the intersection of sports and technology, especially its potential to improve experiences and people's overall health and well-being.

I've delved into a variety of fields, with domain expertise in sport, fundraising, lottery, betting, FinTech, health and entertainment - both B2C and B2B. WIth business adventures that have taken me around the globe, traversing Europe, North America, APAC, and Africa. Most recently, I've been working on projects in the UK, USA, Norway, and Germany. It's been a whirlwind tour of cultures, markets and endless opportunities!

I'm passionate about creating and growing new businesses and working with smart, determined people. So if you're working on something cool, then get in touch. You check also out what I'm up to now (boards, advisory) or if my wider consulting group can help you. If you're in England, check out the Woldpack, a movement I created to bring together startups, investors, and creators, to show that it’s not all tea, tourists, and tweed outside of London.

As Einstein said 'the more I learn, the more I realise how much I don't know.' Make sure you dream big ✌️
