Leadership, Innovation, Transformation
About Me
I'm an innovator who loves to turn ideas into exciting products and successful businesses. I've worked in a variety of settings from corporates to startups. I love to think laterally, to connect dots, to tease out competitive advantage.
​
I've led teams, large and small, to devise and deliver products that solve real problems for customers in ways that are both innovative and commercially sustaining.
​
I'm passionate about learning, how it can be enhanced by digital technologies, and how it can be designed to bring about lasting behavioural change.
​
I'm a successful entrepreneur having created and successfully sold a digital learning company in 2001. I've also harnessed my entrepreneurial mindset in corporate environments to drive digital transformation and new product innovation.
​
I've won multiple awards for digital products including a Bafta award.
​
I believe in the potential of R&D to drive innovation forward, but also the importance of structured and critical customer research. I'm currently immersed in the the challenges and opportunities around designing sustained behavioural change initiatives, drawing on research in psychology, behavioural economics, learning science and complexity theory.
I'm a critical fan of Design Thinking, Lean Startup, and Agile methodologies. I also believe in the ineffable power of creativity and spark.
​
I love to mentor and advise new startups and innovators so they can avoid avoidable mistakes. I've also dabbled in angel investing.
​
At the end of the day, I'm a product guy, a learning guy and an innovation guy.
