Growing my membership organisation to 2000 members almost entirely through referrals and strategic partnerships, before providing access to the SME market for global brands such as Regus & Volvo, reaching nearly 1 million business owners along the way.

In 2020 I set up Collaboration Junkie. Helping brands identify, nurture and scale referral & partnership opportunities.

Since then my DANCE framework for strategic partnerships, and methodology for building cultures of referrals, has helped hundreds of businesses learn the lessons from my successes, and not so successes. Saving Bio...
