Bio

Co-founder and COO of GoHenry - the prepaid debit card and financial education app designed to teach kids and teens how to be smart with money. Responsible for the global operations of GoHenry, I've played an integral role in growing its customer base to over 2 million customers in the US & UK, and more recently Europe, with GoHenry’s acquisition of French Fintech Pixpay. Listed as one of CrowdCube's top female fundraisers having broken its fundraising records in 2018. Since then, GoHenry has gone on to raise a total of $136M through a combination of direct investors, crowdfunding and growth equity. With over 20 years experience of running large-scale operations for some of the leading UK merchants, prior to GoHenry, I was at the forefront of the retail industry’s transition to digital, launching the first wave of ecommerce websites for some of the UK’s biggest brands, including Next Directory, John Lewis and Debenhams. As a passionate advocate for financial education, I'm a Trustee of The Centre for Financial Capability, Chair of MyBnk’s Financial Freedom Campaign, a mentor for Oxford University’s accelerator programme (Creative Destruction Lab) and a speaker at leading Exec MBA programmes across the UK. I'm also a huge supporter of women in business, regularly speaking at events and offering my time as a mentor for female founders, start-ups, and scaling businesses in order to drive cultural change around female leadership.
