I'm the Co-Founder of the Open Energy Market, an energy trading platform that greatly increases the efficiency of commercial tendering for UK companies.
Before that I was CEO of ControlPoint and Co-Founder of ViaPost, both disruptive tech startups with successful exits that saved money whilst making things simpler and more efficient. ControlPoint aided emergency response and counter-terror efforts for FTSE100 companies and the UK Government. ViaPost was the UK's first hybrid mail service.
I help entrepreneurs, established companies and early stage ventures with strategic advice; focusing on innovation, system design, company structure, seed funding and ways to ensure rapid but sustainable growth.
Additionally, I'm an anonymous reviewer for a well known travel site and hold a skydiving record.
I'm currently enrolled in the EMBA at MIT Sloan.
My first career was as a film and advert producer. I will admit that many of these should never have seen the light of day, primarily as I acted in all of them.
