I am primarily responsible for the sourcing and deal completion on acquisition targets. I have oversight on all acquired business as primary shareholder and CEO of the central operational team within Jalex Futures. Jalex Futures is a private equity investment business that I founded after selling CanTrack Global to a PE backed business. The Founders Fund is a fund for founders, by founders - helping business owners crystallise the value in their business.The Founders Fund is not an impact fund, although it will always favour investments with a sustainability angle.

From founding the business in 2004, through to a successful 8-digit exit in 2021 and everything in between, the role of MD has meant different things at different times. CanTrack Global is a leading player in asset tracking and managing, securing and gathering data on nearly 50,000 (>£1BN) assets under management. Since 2021, CanTrack is part of the British success story that is Radius Telematics, part of the Radius Payment Solutions group of companies. With over 700,000 vehicles and assets tracked over 20+ countries, it is one of the fastest growing companies in the world in the telematics space.I pride myself on building teams that are passionate and, ‘on a journey’, through strong leadership. A favourite quote is from Roy Disney, who once said ‘Decisions are easy when you know your values’. Strong leadership is the ability to remove bottlenecks and dependencies in the business, and it’s important the team knows how to make decisions without your input in routine operations. Never has culture and leadership been more important than now, to the new generation of people entering the workplace.
