Strategic mentoring and tools for founders and business leaders, who want to grow sustainably without losing clarity, energy, or themselves.

I’m Arianna, award-winning business mentor, sustainable growth expert, and founder of StartUpAndRise.With over 20 years’ experience across global corporations, scale-ups, and board-level leadership, I’ve built and scaled businesses from the inside out.Today, I mentor high-performing founders to scale intentionally without spiralling, combining strategic clarity with grounded execution.I’ve supported VC-backed ventures, £20M+ brands, and solo founders building quietly powerful companies rooted in purpose.
My Approach
My philosophy is simple: sustainable growth needs structure, not speed.I work with founders to build high-impact businesses that scale without spiralling, using my proprietary P.A.C.I.N.G. Principle™ and The Quiet Edge™ leadership method.This is not surface-level coaching. It’s deep, 1:1 strategic mentoring grounded in real-world experience, practical frameworks, and a commitment to long-term success for both the business and the person leading it.
