| Founder & Chairman of Multiple Companies | Several Trade Sales | 35+ Years in IT sector | Successfully sold for $60m my first company to a large US e-commerce business.Subsequently I pondered; how much time, expense, frustration and potential risk might we have avoided had we been able to fix our experience deficits earlier in the business development process?I provide a specialist advisory service where I serve as a trusted advisor and confidant to CEO's and Senior Management. The CEO's role is an onerous one that can occasionally be filled with uncertainty, ambiguity and an inevitable degree of isolation. It can be a lonely place! CEO's today recognize the significant business advantages both strategic and commercial in discussing all aspects of business life with a professional outsider who 'understands' and most importantly is always on ‘their’ side. A problem shared is usually a problem halved. My early career includes several years consulting in the City of London (Lloyds Intl, Chase, Kleinwort Benson, KPMG)Corporate clients have also included, Diageo, CIBA, Reckitt Benckiser, Firestone Tyres, Formica, Novartis, Unilever, RevlonAn avid car collector I am also founder & President of the Maserati Club of Ireland.I also pursue my music interests as rhythm guitarist with local band Disturbance in the Neighbourhood.
