About

An experienced business leader with a passion for technology, and business startups. Always striving to identify challenges that business executives don't necessarily know they have yet, and building products and services to support them when they discover that they do. It's all about risk and reward, too early and nobody understands what you a talking about, too late and there's already and app for that. Outside of work my interests are sailing and mountain biking, I really enjoy the planning and execution necessary with sailing, get it wrong and you're going nowhere, or worse, but get it right and you can literally go anywhere. With mountain biking I recently went over to the dark side, and bought an electric mountain bike, my only comment for all the naysayers is "don't knock it until you have tried it"
