I help professionals turn expertise into influence. From startup pitches to boardroom presentations, I'll make sure your message lands — in person in Madrid, onsite anywhere in Europe, or online with teams worldwide.
Work with me
You're an expert at what you do. But if you can't explain it in five minutes, your clients will never know. Most opportunities are won or lost in a single conversation — a pitch, a meeting, a chance encounter. The question isn't whether you're good enough. It's whether your audience believes it.
Nail your investor pitch. Turn a good idea into a story that gets funded.
Transform your team's communication through intensive, results-driven workshops.
Communicate with confidence in any room — whether it's a boardroom or a stage.
Win your ERC grant interview. Give your research its best chance of funding.
Intensive 1:1 sessions tailored to your specific challenge — whether that's a pitch next week or a career-long shift in how you communicate.
For professionals who want to speak with clarity, confidence, and impact — on stage, in meetings, or in everyday conversations.
Get your investor pitch right. I'll work with you to distil your vision into a compelling story that secures funding.
Specialist coaching for scientists and academics preparing for European Research Council grant interviews. Proven results.
Intensive, interactive workshops that change how teams pitch, lead meetings, and walk into the rooms that matter. Delivered in person worldwide, or online in shorter sessions for distributed teams. Past clients include Santander, Roche, and Inditex.
Every workshop is tailored to your team, your context, and your deadlines. No generic frameworks, no off-the-shelf decks. Just the specific skills and habits that move the needle for the people in the room — from Telefónica and Santander to BBVA, Roche, and the European Commission.
You only get one shot to convince your audience. Learn how to make every minute count with structure, delivery, and presence.

For over 10 years I've helped more than 300 organisations, including Roche, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Coca Cola, Accenture and the European Commission, to persuade, present and influence with credibility. I'm Adjunct Professor of Communication at IE University (Instituto de Empresa) in Madrid, where I've received the Award for Academic Excellence. I work with everyone from first-time founders to Fortune 500 leadership teams.
Originally from England and a graduate of Cambridge University, I was a leadership consultant at Deloitte for several years, working on hundreds of client bids and presentations, as well as managing the Major Projects Leadership Academy for Oxford Saïd Business School and the Government of the United Kingdom. For five years I delivered training in public speaking to charity volunteers in the UK, Kenya and Uganda.
From pitch decks to grant proposals to board-level strategy, I understand what you're actually trying to say — usually within the first 20 minutes. That clarity saves months of wasted iteration.
You see yourself on video. You understand exactly what's not working and why. You leave with a clear action plan. No vague advice. No generic frameworks. Just the specific changes that will make the biggest difference for you.
Clients come for a specific moment — a pitch, an ERC interview, a keynote — and leave with a toolkit they use for the rest of their career. The investment tends to pay for itself many times over, often in the first week after.
Individual coaching is delivered in 90-minute sessions, online via Zoom or in person if you're in Madrid. Each session is recorded so you can review it afterwards, and I send written feedback between sessions. Group workshops are delivered in person anywhere in the world, or online — when online, the workshop is broken into shorter chunks (typically 3 hours at a time) so distributed teams stay focused.
English and Spanish — and many clients switch between both in the same session. Particularly useful if you're preparing for a bilingual audience or a presentation in your second language.
Yes — deadline-driven prep is most of what I do. For ERC interviews, get in touch as soon as you're shortlisted. For investor pitches or major talks, ideally at least 4 weeks out, but don't panic if it's later. The Platinum Pitch Rescue tier comes with a guarantee that your pitch will be ready in time.
Packages are a starting point, not a ceiling. If we finish and you want to keep going on something specific, we extend at a pro-rated rate. No pressure — I'll only suggest extending if I genuinely think it'll help.
Email me with a rough idea: who's attending, the key goal, and the approximate date. I'll reply within a couple of working days with a proposal — format options, pricing, and any questions. For larger engagements, we'll jump on a call at that point if it's useful.
Invoiced in EUR, usually 50% upfront and 50% on completion. Bank transfer or SEPA. For corporate clients, I work to your standard procurement terms.
Just email me with the basics of what you're preparing for, roughly when, and who's involved. I'll reply within a couple of working days with a suggested package, timeline, and any questions. If a call would help after that, we'll set one up.
Whether you need to nail an investor pitch, transform your team's communication, or show up with more presence — let's talk.
