Let's Get Acquainted
I feel I have won life's lottery numerous times, both by virtue of my place of birth and circumstances but also by the fact that I was able to live so many fun and enriching experiences and work with truly great and inspiring people!
I trained as a chemist but soon combined the world of molecules with that of electrons when I turned my hand to the nascent field of AI back in the early 90s and attempted to use AI to enhance the field of Chemistry. Attempted was the operative world as meaningful application was beyond the then current capabilities of the technology.
A London born Brit, I followed my dream and headed East to make my fortune, gaining native level command of Japanese and a unique access to Japan's breathtaking culture. In addition I founded my first tech startup in Singapore.
My start up was what I call my 'business school of life' but once I realized that I was no Bezos, Gates or Musk I decided to apply my skills to the corporate world, becoming the CIO of an advertising company where I led our first foray into the mobile marketing world and thoughtfully applied technology to the core business.
'Real business school' eventually beckoned, followed by a long stint in strategy consulting, both in a pure play strategy company in addition to the strategy consulting division of a large tech and consulting company.
