Credentials
Bio

I've been launching businesses for over 35 years with varying degrees of success. I've mostly founded tech startups, although I'm not a coder. During my journey, I've realised that I'm more suited and enjoy the early entrepreneurial stage of a business rather than managing and growing it. I teach and mentor entrepreneurship at universities in the UK and US. Entrepreneurship is a career choice!

Standing still is not a strategy.
