Developing ABOB's corporate partnership portfolio. Involved for 11 years as a mentor and community leader, I am passionate about the support work we do with young men 18-25 involved (or at risk of being) in the criminal justice system. Please get in touch with me if you are interested in partnering and supporting our vital work in any of these ways.• Strategic partnerships (CSR, employment & apprenticeships, social enterprise)• Charity of the Year (COTY)• Corporate donations (programs and projects)• Employee and customer fundraising (sponsor a young man)• Commercial partnerships (work experience, training, apprenticeship)• Sharing expertise (systems and data development)VISIONOur vision is of a world where every man and boy leads a life full of meaning, purpose and connection; where mature masculinity is promoted at every stage of life and modelled by authentic older role models.MISSIONOur mission is to enable young men involved in the criminal justice system to make a transition into an adulthood free of crime and full of purpose, connection and meaning.Every day a young man aged 16-24 commits suicide in the UK | 40% of criminal caseloads are men between the age of 18 and 25 | 30% of those involved in the criminal justice system have had contact with the state care system whilst making up less than 1% of the population | 95% of the prison population are men and 90% of violent crimes and burglaries are committed by menWe provide young men with a lasting, mutually supportive community – local to them and held by trained older male mentors who have worked on themselves sufficiently to be able to model a mature version of what it is to be an adult, responsible man in this world. Our volunteers come from diverse cultural, socio-economic, and vocational backgrounds."The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." ~ African proverb

● Entry to New Markets● Sales Delivery ● Business Development ● Business Strategy Planning & Implementation"It might be time to admit that sales and marketing are crucial to startups from the day they are launched, and find better ways of building up efficient revenues earlier. That message needs to be heard particularly by technical founders, who should grapple and become comfortable hiring sales teams much earlier in their startup’s growth. SaaS is not an excuse to ignore higher-touch sales."~ 'SF Has An S&M Problem', TechCrunch, Nov 23, 2014

I served with V2 division 'Catapults & Arresting Gear' aboard the U.S.S. Nimitz (CVN-68) on Catapult-2 working my way through all the topside stations by age 21 to 'Hook-up Petty Officer' responsible for the catapult hook-up and safe launching of aircraft such as the F-14 'Tomcat' involving the supervision of six to nine crewmen and their training and operation of all the manned stations, as well as planned maintenance of the equipment and machinery. Amazing times they were at the height of the 'Cold-War' deployed for up to 7-months at sea from the Mediterranean to the Artic, East Coast of the USA, to the Carribean. I witnessed awesome things and also tragedy, and saw my own life flash before my eyes once or twice. The highlight was the almost three months we spent in a high state of combat readiness off Beirut following the TWA Flight 847 highjacking in June 1985 and receiving a 'Commendation for Going Above and Beyond the Call of Duty' in performance of my responsibility.
