You’ve got the product, the team and the momentum. So why does executing still feel so hard?

Our session is for founders and CEOs who know where they’re trying to get to …
but are finding that scaling the business is making it harder to get there.

No PowerPoints. No theory. Just honest conversations.

Hear candid perspectives from leaders who’ve lived through the challenges of growth,
share what’s getting in the way in your own business and learn from others facing similar challenges.

Leave with greater clarity, practical ideas and one or two things you can do differently.

About our event:

Let’s be real... business growth can be hard & often needs support.

Connect & Collaborate is a peer-led series bringing together C-suite leaders & Founders in tech to share experiences,
challenges and what they’ve learned from building and scaling businesses.

Real conversations. Shared experience. A network of people who get it.

Meet our committee, who will be speaking at our launch event:

🗣️ Rachel Swann | Commercial Leader & Transformer, Board Advisor
Working mainly with SaaS and tech businesses to drive commercial growth and repeatable revenue. Particularly where sales are founder-led, she steps in as a strategic partner or fractional CRO. Stronger proposition. Better pipeline. Predictable revenue.

🗣️ Sara Parker | Fractional Executive
A fractional COO for companies past start-up, not yet scaled. She works with founders who can see exactly where they need to get to - but can't quite get there. Focus, alignment, execution. Clarity that unsticks growth.

🗣️Dani Wainwright | Leads a team of Fractional Finance Directors
Dani and her team are hands-on, part-time FDs for ambitious SMEs. Not arms-length advisors or bookkeepers - embedded partners working alongside founders. Financial clarity, structure, and confident growth.

🗣️Sian Evans | Chief People Officer
A fractional Chief People Officer working with leadership teams to shape culture, capability, and performance. She works alongside founders to build high-performing, inclusive environments. Cultures where people and performance scale together.

🗣️ Tina Howell | Technical Strategic Advisor, Fractional CTO & CAIO
A fractional CTO working with founders and leadership teams to bring clarity and direction to their technology. She embeds as a hands-on leader, helping businesses get unstuck, align tech with the commercial plan, and build for scale. Fix the tech. Scale with confidence.
