info

A zen-jedi business transformer. In the last twenty years I've pretty much seen it all. From the dot com - boom bust boom cycles, I've worked with large multinationals, lean start-ups and everything in between - the good, the great and some spectacular failures. A highlight was building and selling my own boutique web strategy & design shop. Now I've reached a point in my career where I'm open to new entrepreneurial & altruistic endeavours.
