About Me

I'm passionate about creating remarkable products that will change the lives of the people that use them. Never happy with the status quo, I'm fascinated by game-changing technology and design, and the environments that foster them. The very best part of being an entrepreneur however, is working with my team of unconventional and brilliant people who inspire me each and every day.

Over the past 15 years I've worked in a range of creative businesses, from start-ups to global organisations. Outside of my day job I've been a FTSE 250 NED, a board member of the Young President's Organisation and an active mentor to earlier stage entrepreneurs and companies in the UK startup scene.

I have been featured in the Times Newspaper's '40 Under 40' list, along with the Telegraph Newspaper's '100 Most Influential People in Technology', and amongst the 1,000 'Most Powerful People in British Business'. The Guardian Newspaper featured me in their list of the most powerful people in media as part of the 'MediaGuardian 100', and in the top 10 most influential people in digital media. I have been a multiple Wired 100 entrant and became an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the year in 2010. In 2015 I was granted an MBE for Entrepreneurship in the Queen's New Year's Honours list.

I occasionally speak at business and technology events and have had my thoughts on design and business published in books, magazines and the web.
