New Beginnings
Since leaving my executive role in the venture capital industry in 2008, I’ve been busy. After selling our business, I returned to my consulting roots, bringing along the valuable lessons I learned as a venture capitalist: all about building great companies. The result has been practical solutions for a host of entrepreneurs and business leaders, and I’ve approached my work in the way that I would appreciate as a client, having played a key role in growing, managing, and exiting a company myself.
Somewhere along the way, I was inspired to raise my voice and share some of the many experiences I’ve had, through articles, courses, webinars, books, and presentations. I’ve found that I have a lot to say, and my catalogue of published work has expanded as a result. Clients tend to find that the scenarios I write about seem oh, so familiar, with some wondering if I’m writing about them. The truth is, there are many similarities in what leaders encounter in the course of building a business, a fact that tends to be reassuring. It’s this experience that I’ve been able to tap into, bringing practical solutions to resolve issues and support future growth.
Fast-forward to 2015, when I realized that it was high time to re-launch my website, to capture the experiences I’ve had and the knowledge I have to share. I’ve organized my website to reflect the main areas in which I focus: Work (business advisory services), Speak (presentations and seminars), Learn (courses, books, and webinars), as well as lots of information about my background. In this blog, you will find an archive of some of my published work, with lots more to come going forward.
Like the “behind the scenes” photo I’ve included here, we’re bringing a whole new style to the business advisory world! Being in business is all about opportunities, and in a competitive world, someone should benefit; why not your company? So, welcome to my website; I invite you to have a look around and be in touch to discuss how I can help your business.
