I’ve always had an eye for opportunity.

Often it starts with noticing a pattern in how people behave, then getting people behind an idea and making it happen.

You also have to recognise when something isn’t working and be prepared to change your approach.

Selected work

Feature documentary · Film

A documentary following my 500-mile world record rollerblading challenge from Edinburgh to London, in support of disadvantaged young people.

LinkedIn · Article

On changing approach when conventional startup advice does not fit.

TEDxPCL · Talk

A talk on the support we need from schools and businesses.

I write every few weeks because I enjoy it. Short notes. Sometimes stories. On taking risks, changing direction and the things I’m still working out.
