About

I was co-founder and CEO of Sky-Futures; one of the pioneering start-ups that harnessed drone technology and software for commercial application. The founding team exited to Private Equity in 2019. Prior to this, I served for 7 years in the British Army with operational tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2024 i co-founded Cambrai Partners. I am now buying and building in the UK/EU defence and security market. I love adventure and finding a new path.
