About

 

I never thought I'd do it

One day I resigned with no new job to go to, just an idea. I felt like I was flying.

Then reality struck: Anyone can jump; it’s surviving the landing that's the challenge...

 

25 years later...

I’ve founded 5 start-ups with exits by trade sale and IPO.

I’ve seed funded and advised multiple disruptive businesses.

I’ve won and coached others to win multi-million £ contracts from under the noses of their blue-chip competitors.
