I’ve spent two decades building impact startups and projects. Why? Because I’m hooked on the idea that finding human connection in a faster - and more disconnected - world is the key to solving many of our great problems. Oh, and it makes us happier too.

From building a desert island eco-village, to reinventing book clubs, to accelerating impact careers and climate startups, I've explored how to use tech & community tools to make a positive change.

I've experienced success, failure and lots inbetween. But I believe that an experimental, community-led approach to work is the best way to create change.

A lot of my work has focused on communicating with a diverse range of people on projects across our physical and digital worlds. From an island mosque in Myanmar to a CIA conference in Las Vegas; to hundreds co-working spaces, schools and keynote stages, I've been lucky to share what I've learnt and help inspire others to make the most of their opportunity.

Alongside growing startups, I love working with organisations who are ambitious about scaling their impact. We need bold leadership like never before. Whether in climate, AI, pandemics or genetic editing, we live in an 'exponential age' of rapid, consequential change. Decisions we make as community and business leaders (and citizens) today will reverberate like never before.

If you're looking for an inspiring fresh perspective, with stories from the front-line of community and impact startup building, let's talk.
