London, UK
I'm a tinkerer at heart.
I've been lucky enough to play with lots of innovations in markets as they form. From the earliest days of the internet to social media to the current surge in generative AI, I've been able to tinker, build and experiment, and every so often stumble onto success.
My journey's taken me from the criminal courts of London to conflict zones in Rwanda and Kosovo, working under the UNHCR and HH the Dalai Lama. I've built and sold various companies, including Techlightenment (acquired by Experian) and Mahabis, a DTC shoe company that sold over 1m pairs across 100 countries in just 4 years.
I now tend to split my time between advising fast-growth companies (hands-on as well as helping with the bigger picture) and getting my hands dirty with my own projects. I've worked with blue-chip clients like Vodafone, Sony, and GSK, but I'm as likely to be found tinkering with new innovations and seeing what they can be applied to.
I enjoy thinking and building. And helping others along the way. Get in touch if I can help or you just want to chat.
