What I bring to the table
A practical, people-first approach to business
I've worked across several industries, but I've always been drawn to the same challenge: making useful connections and helping people and businesses move forward.
Customer networks & partnerships
More than two decades working with referral and relationship-based businesses, with a particular focus on customers, lasting value and helping others succeed.
Investment & entrepreneurship
A private investor with experience around early-stage businesses, business leadership and connecting founders, opportunities and potential supporters.

A little background
Curiosity has shaped my career.
My professional journey began in electronics engineering before I moved into online business and marketing in the early days of the commercial internet.
Since then, I've been involved in customer-focused businesses, affiliate and referral marketing, digital projects and ventures involving private investment. I was drawn to network marketing because, done well, it can reward people for helping each other rather than competing.
I've never been interested in hype for its own sake. I prefer ideas with real customers, useful products, strong relationships and room to grow.
