I'm offering
I am a researcher turned consultant and part-time investor - passionate about understanding and addressing the challenges and opportunities that technology-enabled innovation brings to society and businesses. As a result I frequently comment on current affairs as well as innovation in payments, finance and investments in online and printed media outlets.
As an experienced communicator, I enjoy building relationships - becoming a trusted advisor to my clients. These included several of the world's leading companies in financial services, payments and retail as well as public bodies across the UK, Europe and South Africa.
Having led large cross-border programmes from ideation to market launch I have been particularly successful at turning around difficult or failing projects and bringing grounded commercial principles to innovative business ideas.
