After a long day of work on a civil construction project in South east Victoria, Australia, I flipped down the visor of one of our trucks and got showered in paperwork and receipts. The civil construction business I was running was drowning in paperwork. The BlackBerry was peaking and the iPhone was just starting to take hold of the ‘all people’ market and seeing the opening, I became determined to build an application that would help field-based businesses conduct efficient operations and grow - and do it all without (sans) paper!With over 10 years of experience as a founder and CEO of multiple businesses, I have a proven track record of creating and implementing mobile first and cloud first platforms that enhance efficiency, quality and environmental standards. I am passionate about helping growing dirt world businesses, leverage the power of technology to optimize their processes, reduce waste and achieve their goals.As the founder and CEO of Platformers, Sans Paper, Vertical Matters, 1555 and Propertifolio, I lead 5 ventures that aim to generate human connectedness, foster business ecosystems, and equip construction businesses for growth. Through these initiatives, I demonstrate my commitment to sustainability, innovation, and collaboration. I enjoy connecting with like-minded professionals and sharing my insights on how we can transform the construction industry.
