I place my family and friends first and foremost in my life. My wife is my eternal lifeline, my son gives me inspiration and my friends keep me grounded.
Alongside my family and friends, my other passion is travel. I love to meet new people and understand the nuances of different cultures; I believe it helps you to see the world from different perspectives. I have been to many countries in the world, but have a particular draw to Asia, and have spent considerable time attempting to learn Mandarin: this is a slow and ongoing process. I also have an interest in machine learning, 3D Printing and I like to attempt photography once in a while, play badminton and enjoy the odd pint of real ale.
I’m an entrepreneur living in London working in the crossover between technology and finance.
In my 12+ year career I’ve worked with companies large and small. I’ve a wealth of experience in technology, finance, banking and risk. I set up my own risk management training and consulting firm in Hong Kong in 2007 and in 2012 I co-founded QuidProQuo, a peer-to-peer lending company, with the idea of making finance fair for small businesses and investors. Most recently, following my journey into the world of parenthood, I co-founded a new fashion label for busy city parents: Hazelnut. I’ve held roles as developer, consultant, product and project manager, but have always considered myself, first and foremost, a technologist.
