Backed by ScalePoint Research
I run ScalePoint Research, which tests AI models on real payments and finance tasks and works out what each case costs, including mistakes. The projects use the same tests and economic models.
About me
I advise payments and fintech businesses on strategic finance, unit economics and AI, and run ScalePoint Research.
I spent ten years in operating roles at Citi, Mastercard and the start-up Luup, then nine years at Edgar, Dunn & Company, latterly as a Principal, on more than 75 engagements for banks, fintechs, card networks, private equity firms and merchants. Since 2024 I've worked independently with payments and fintech businesses on strategic finance and value creation. I split my time between London and Barcelona.
