The Sole Founder
Journal of a CEOBackstory
I moved to London in 2010 to start my dream career as a Chartered Architect designing buildings at a top 10 firm. In May 2014 I was stood in front of Richard Branson pitching a Startup with a life changing 90 seconds thinking "what am I doing here". The Sole Founder is for entrepreneurs with an itch to solve an industry problem, start a company and realise your vision.
