Thirty years, a lot of countries, a lot of companies, and more than a few things that didn't work out the way I planned. Each one taught me something different - about business, about people, and about what actually matters.

Looking back now, I wouldn't change any of it, including the fact that one of the companies I co-founded was awarded global winner at Pitch@Palace from over 25,000 applicants worldwide.

Here is the journey so far …

All these experiences - the places, the people - come together at Decksadu, a specialist firm that helps founders, CEOs, and dealmakers secure funding from investors and lenders.

To date, clients I've worked with have raised over $1.2 billion.

On a personal level, I have a deep interest in businesses whose products or services improve lives or improve our world.

There’s a lot to be said for doing well by doing good.

Building businesses - my own and other people's - has taught me what makes a story land.

Decksadu is where I put that to work.
