With Fresh Teched, we're building AI led technologies that we believe will disrupt the entire grocery supply chain. Providing incredible IP to marketplaces of farmers, boutique sellers, and food producers so that they can have direct access to tech that, until now, has been reserved purely for the supermarkets they're usually beholden to. In doing so, we're going to enable them to trade more sustainably, reducing their reliance on a model that has shown itself to be broken, whilst enabling the hyper-localisation of food supply chains and massively reducing the industry's carbon footprint. In short, we want to change the way the world shops for food, forever!

I love my work at In Bloom. Having supported some of the World’s biggest companies in overcoming growth and technology challenges. There’s nothing more satisfying than being given a problem that’s proved difficult to solve, and working to bring strategy, technology and operations together to deliver an effective solution. More recently I’ve been transforming In Bloom’s global experience into an investment vehicle. Investing in building technology concepts that I believe have the power to democratise traditionally difficult to access sectors through advanced AI and simplified process journeys. Whilst still in development I am extremely excited about seeing these projects come to fruition and playing their small part in a better future that I strongly believe the right use of advanced technologies can and will deliver.
