About

About me

I have loved the combination of technology and business for as long as I can remember.

I began my career in finance, getting a start in commercial banking and then a move to equity funds management, where I was able to build valuable business skills and gain exposure to a wide range of industries.

The desire to challenge myself and continue to learn new skills led to a move away from corporate roles in favour of small business and startups. I began supporting a number of early-stage startups as director, mentor and friend, then founded my own startup, Listium. Startups allowed me to combine my passions for technology and business, with the variety and challenges of innovation, creativity and problem-solving.

In 2023 my time started shifting more towards AI, and this became my primary focus in 2024. Whether it's helping clients, working on Listium in my spare time, or building my own side-projects, staying at the leading edge of AI is now what drives me.
