Following four decades immersed in the vibrant worlds of entertainment and technology, I've held key roles within industry titans such as CANON, SONY, PARAMOUNT Pictures, MGM/UA, Universal Studios and Philips NV. Over the years, I've assessed more than 600 start-ups and business concepts globally, working with major investment groups and government consortia. My journey has led me to live and work in diverse locations such as Japan, the USA, Turkey, France and now Greece, and I've successfully raised over £209 million for early-stage businesses.

My professional roots are planted in humble beginnings as a chef, from where I climbed the corporate ladder through sales and marketing, ultimately establishing my reputation as a people management specialist. I am proud to be a Fellow of both the Institute of Leadership Management (ILM) and the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA).

Now in my semi-retirement, I split my time between London and the tranquil waters of the Greek Islands aboard my cherished sailing yacht, 'HINENI'. I continue to lend my expertise to people seeking personal understanding and guidance. Additionally, I maintain a part-time practice as a psychotherapist.
