What I do

Build from zero. Run it. Replace what used to be bought.

01

Build from zero

Team first, then tools, budget and accountability. The Q-Studio went from zero to 22 people, three countries and seven shipped products in under a year. Enso went from a legal model on paper to a signed flat the next morning.

02

Run the company

A one-on-one with every direct report, every week. One strategy meeting that shows how the business really runs. The numbers on display for the whole company, down to the summer intern.

03

Transform with AI

I replaced our project-management vendor and our website platform with software we built ourselves, run sales analytics on AI, and designed AInabled, a 20-track method for taking AI into an organisation.

Ventures

Nine companies. Two wind-downs. All of it here.

Operators are judged on what happened after the launch. Here is what happened.

How I work

Three rules. No poster.

“News is news. Good or bad, say it early.”

I have told investors to their face that I lost their money. When we win, the whole company hears it the same day.

“We are not a family. We are a company.”

People accompanying each other toward one objective. Lasting friendships, and more than one couple, have come out of my companies. That is the culture working.

“Align the company's goal with each person's goal.”

Then give them the tools and the accountability, and get out of the way. The results have been outstanding every time.
