Hello. I am an entrepreneur.a builder.a nerd.a consultant.a Twit.a problem solver.a problem solver.
I live in Melbourne, Australia but work with people and organisations globally.
I write about strategy and risk management; usually in the context of business/startups, digital transformation and innovation.
HOW I HELP PEOPLE (SOMETIMES)
Business strategy
I love to talk about how people can build and market awesome things that people will love. My main focus is on technology services, products and digital transformation.
Presentations & training
Sometimes people hire me to talk about things. I do this pretty often. I talk about business, communications, social media, marketing … or pretty much anything.
Engagement
What is engagement these days? It’s not just social media, or digital. It’s also hard to measure its results, a challenge I enjoy.
Angel investment
I do some angel investments into early-stage startups – my primary area of interest is B2B SaaS.
