Digital Media & Technology, Innovation & Adventure
In a word, I’m a storyteller – I help people figure out how to turn complex problems into simple, compelling solutions. And I try to get myself into some memorable escapades along the way.
Right now, I’m probably either:
Consulting on innovation & strategy at Loopers,
Sharing tools & processes for brighter business at Neoco (and its channels),
Building new products to improve: AI development, independent work, and more,
Chairing a global group for AI ethics standards,
Or maybe making films, writing, travelling… more on my roles here.

Blog
Another from my old archives. The rest of it must be in some paper notebook somewhere. I was asked by a friend (Jo) to help crew the yacht she worked on so, with only a [...]
American Diaries – 27 Aug 2003
Part 3/3. Reading this predictive piece now, thirteen years later, I am not surprised by my ambitions, and my failure to meet some of them. But I am also pleased that some of the things I [...]
American Diaries – 25 Aug 2003
Part 2/3. To my mind, this journal entry was written at the lowest point of our nine-month trip. We had planned a round-the-world journey since we were 15. We were now 23 and we’d made it [...]
American Diaries – 20 Aug 2003
Part 1/3. This is the first time I’ve transcribed an excerpt from the old black notebook I bought on my travels in 2002-3. I’ve kept the original wording, with only tiny amendments for spelling and grammar. Otherwise it’s verbatim: [...]
