I am currently between jobs and using the time to learn, network, research, write about and invest in the various topics that interest me including: -• Wellbeing & Mindfulness• Purposeful Business• Human Productivity & Potential • The circular economy• Emerging technologies, science and ideologies • Social Enterprises• Community Projects• NeuroscienceI am open to work with purposeful organisations in any of the above areas. I have an abundance of passion for the topics that interest me, energy, curiosity and resilience. Outside of work, I am a ‘hands-on’ dad and husband. I live an active outdoor lifestyle and live in a bilingual household. My wife is from Ecuador and so we spend as much time there as possible but have a love of discovering new places, cultures, foods, people and experiences. Aside from a few transatlantic flight, we try to minimise our footprint as much as possible in the way we eat, use energy, travel and consume. Let’s Connect if we have common interests and passions.
