About
Welcome - I have a passion and a soft-spot for start-ups. I know from the school of hard knocks just how difficult it can be to get your new business into self-sufficiency. This is what I dedicate myself to now so that your journey to commercial success is easier, faster and long-lasting.
​
We talk a lot about COMMERCIALISATION a lot here - with good reason. This is what you need to transform from a groovy start-up to a company operating with purpose and potential for high growth.

.... right to providing an ongoing framework to coach you as a Founder to become a truly effective CEO.
​
This can help you take years off your growth journey - far faster than you will do it on your own - assuming you don't fail along the way (I don't wish that on anyone).
​
Take the risk out of that and engage NOW - can you afford not to?​

I have qualifications in Business Studies. My early career centered around application programming and project management in engineering in defence and government. I have been in IT software and services sales since 1980, most recently with international enterprise roles with IBM Corporation over nearly 20 years. However, I also have start-up experience on multiple occasions, including building my own businesses.
​
All through this busy life, I have been training, coaching and mentoring great people to do great things with their lives and businesses.
I now apply my Commercialisation for Tech Start-ups method to help founders get on the right track and see them through to financial stability and revenue sustainability in the longer-term.
