Area of Interest: The common thread in my career to date is the intersection of cutting-edge technologies and business; typically, how to turn the former into a successful version of the latter. It combines two of the things I love most: innovation –beautiful and ripe with possibilities, and; business –imperfect, practical and infinitely variable. Transforming good innovation into a successful business is the most interesting, challenging, and rewarding work I’ve ever done. My ambition is to build great companies. This cannot be achieved overnight. History occasionally throws up big discontinuities that give birth to tomorrow’s great companies. We are in the midst of such a period; I hope to steer a path through the many tricky currents and rise on the tide of this unique time to make a genuine contribution to the future of mankind.
