enabling ambitious impact
01 ABOUT MY WORK
After a career as an entrepreneur, I've spent the past 13 years focused full-time on working out how resources can be leveraged to tackle important global challenges. That work now spans a spending-down family office, a foundation, and a set of organizations I've created and/or support.
I'm a relentless learner about impact: what works, what's overrated, where real leverage can be found. I keep this open record of my key learnings, which I'm always happy to discuss.
To relax, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and two children, and playing some very average golf.
