Female Founders Fly is where I share board-level reflections on what it really takes to scale an ambitious business.

Drawing on 25+ years in high-growth ventures and experience as a board chair, strategic advisor and former founder, I write about leadership, strategy and governance – and the moments founders often wrestle with quietly as their businesses grow.

This isn’t theory, hype, or tactics for clicks. It’s pattern recognition from the boardroom: what I’m seeing repeatedly across scale-ups, what’s actually moving the needle, and where founders tend to get stuck.

If you’re a founder navigating growth – or someone who supports people building ambitious businesses – this is for you.

What you’ll get

  • One thoughtful piece each month, delivered directly to your inbox

  • Clear, grounded insight drawn from real board and founder experience
