02About

Engineer. Founder. Builder of the machine.

I left a geotechnical, environmental and civil engineering job in 2016 because the ceiling was too low. More than a decade of building and selling businesses later, I build the operating systems founder-led companies run on.

  • Freedom isn't given. It's engineered.
  • Easy, lucrative and fun, or it is the wrong work.
  • Build great things with great people, and get paid as the byproduct.
  • Data, then visibility, then leverage. In that order.

The whole story

In the room

Off the keyboard, in the room.

  • A speaker on stage, arms raised, facing a packed hall on its feet
  • A working roundtable, notebooks open, in front of an 'I am a CEO' banner
  • A large group of attendees, arms up, in a group photo after a session

03Consulting

Consulting for AI systems, operations, automations and the business itself.

I've sat in every seat in several million-dollar companies now, from the CEO to COO, CTO, CRO, CMO.

    If it works, it deserves automation.

  4. Business consulting

    Top-level business consulting from someone who has sat in every seat.
