Hi, I’m Pia.
Originally from California and a graduate of Stanford University, I moved to London several years ago to start a new adventure.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked across corporate, venture-backed, and private equity growth businesses in the US, Europe, and the Middle East.
I began my career in the U.S. at J.P. Morgan and Starbucks, learning how large organizations scale and operate. I then joined a VC-backed travel and hospitality startup as the third employee and COO, building the company from zero to >10K guests and $20M in funding. From there, I became UK GM of Checkout.com, helping lead the company through hypergrowth as Europe’s most valuable fintech. Today, I am the VP of Global Growth at Redpin, a Blackstone-backed real estate fintech, driving our international expansion and partnership strategy.
MY superpower is bringing structure to chaos.
Each chapter of my career has brought high highs and low lows.
I’ve had to let go of entire parts of organisations and have even been made redundant myself. I’ve worked for incredible leaders and some pretty toxic ones too. I’ve had to beg investors for bridge loans to keep our company alive and also enjoyed the employee perks that come after a fresh round of funding. I’ve had to pivot GTM strategies more times than I can count and have witnessed and/or led the restructuring of legacy teams.
Some of these experiences were really tough. You might even say, chaotic…
In each instance, I felt alone - as if I was the first person in history to ever experience that type of chasm in a company.
Through much trial & error, what I’ve come to realize is that leaders that can navigate and scale through the chaos are typically the ones that win.
I work with founders and leadership teams who are scaling quickly but need stronger foundations.
Scaling requires more than hustle — it demands structure, strategy, and disciplined momentum.
Whether you're entering new markets, preparing for funding, or navigating messy internal growth, I help bring structure to complexity. Ruthless prioritization. Proven operating frameworks. Sharper execution.
Grow with intention, not just speed.
