As a first-time CTO at a growing tech-startup Joel's coaching has been instrumental in helping me step up to my new leadership role and to work through some of the most challenging aspects of scaling a company. After only a few months I have seen really positive results. I couldn't recommend his coaching any higher!
Joel was the founding CTO and subsequently COO of FutureLearn from launch and laid the foundations for its successful fundraise at a valuation of £100m in 2019. He is not only a clear expert in his technical field but also one of the best managers and leaders I have had the privilege of working with. The high-performance, supportive culture that we built at FutureLearn was heavily influenced by Joel's leadership instincts and expertise. I strongly endorse Joel as an outstanding CTO and extremely valuable all-rounder in a start-up/scale-up company.
