About

Co-Founder & CEO @ MAGIC AI I've spent the last four years asking one question: → "Why does world-class personal training have to cost £100 an hour?" For me, that meant leaving investment banking, transforming my own health and building the technology to make it accessible to everyone. Here's a snapshot of the journey so far: - Built MAGIC AI - an AI-powered smart mirror that tracks your form, counts your reps, corrects your technique and scans your body composition, all from a camera - Developed Reflect AI©, our proprietary computer vision framework (the same type of tech powering self-driving cars, applied to fitness) - Grew from £0 to $14M revenue in under two years with a team of 15 - Launched in John Lewis, Argos and Selfridges + got featured in TIME, CNN, Forbes, Financial Times and more - Raised $9M from IW Capital, Baleen Capital, SFC Capital, Ventures Together and angels from TikTok, Meta and Spotify - Named in TIME's Best Inventions, Sunday Times 100 Fastest-Growing Tech Companies (#4), Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and Startups 100 (#3) It's been a crazy journey. And we're just getting started. Personal training shouldn't be a luxury. Neither should your health. Our mission is simple: → To make world-class personal training accessible to everyone (not just a few) For more info, visit: magic.fit
