What matters to me
Human to human.
I've been an entrepreneur for over 27 years and have built a range of companies & startups. Two failed, two I exited — and I learned from all of them.
Today I'm growing two startups of my own and advise both first-time founders and seasoned entrepreneurs across a wide range of fields.
