Meet The Team

Rayan Jawad
Rayan is an award-winning data strategist working with multinationals and idea stage startups alike.

Rayan is passionate about tech and innovation and the fine art of clear communication.
“Jaffa cakes are biscuits. This is a hill I’m willing to die on.”

Paul Finch
Paul's expertise lies in helping startups find the best path to commercialise quickly and effectively. His superpower is bridging the gap between startups and the largest, most complex organisations to help them scale and succeed together.
"I’m a total geek at heart; give me any nature-based solution, life science project, or batsh1t crazy way of solving a tough problem, and I’m there. I’m always drawn to the challenges that others don’t like to take on. Give me a complex, ambitious problem to solve, a diamond-in-the-rough founder, or an ability to prove a bunch of naysayers wrong, and I’ll get excited.
And Jaffa cakes are not biscuits."

Camilla Lor
Camilla is responsible for turning strategy into execution and building the systems that allow the business to scale. With 20 plus years across marketing, operations and growth leadership, she sits at the centre of how ideas move from ambition to impact.She’s built high growth brands, delivered award-winning marketing strategies and led teams to success across diverse industries for more than two decades.
Her focus is on clarity, momentum and delivery. She works closely with founders, partners and teams to translate vision into programmes and platforms that perform.
“I’m here to build the team and engine that helps great ideas land, scale and make a real difference.
Oh, and what are Jaffa cakes?"

Sufian Hassan
Sufian is a Technical Director with a product mindset and an engineer’s hands. He has 15+ years of experience across product and engineering. His superpower is turning fuzzy problems into shipped products, then improving them through data, user research, and fast feedback loops.
He has been entrepreneurial from a young age, building scripts and small platforms and selling his code in his teens. He has competed in many hackathons and won a few. Since then, he has founded startups and shipped small tools, including open source projects.
At Growth Studio, he helps build scalable AI products and platforms that remove manual work, speed up decisions, and drive growth, engagement, and retention. He cares about clear problem statements, simple solutions, and delivery that teams can own and improve.
