What's your biggest business success to date?
There have been a few! I broke into consulting on the strength of my project work and growing reputation with clients. Since then, I’ve gone on to partner with some of the biggest companies in the world - crafting strategies that have boosted their bottom line by millions, and leading projects that have transformed businesses into market leaders. But my proudest achievement? Proving that you can succeed in business without being a jerk! Keeping humble (usually) and working with integrity and compassion.
Don鈥檛 judge me by my suit and tie 鈥� I鈥檓 not just another corporate!
What's your biggest business fail?
I fail… to remember a significant one! But I believe if you make a mistake - then fail fast and learn faster! Lucky for me, I’m a quick learner…
Tell us something about yourself.
I was a low budget filmmaker back in the day, doing everything from big screen horror movies to R’n’B music videos. In one year, I shot a dozen films, won a contest at the legendary Pinewood Studios, and had a film screened at the Cannes Film Festival… all without wearing a suit!
Why do you deserve Lord Sugar’s investment?
If I get the investment, the real winner in the show would be Lord Sugar! My CV speaks for itself - I’m a dedicated business and tech leader who smashes every goal and challenge set. I know Lord Sugar would be an incredible mentor, and we would work very well together – our differences are complementary, and our partnership would be guaranteed to turn any venture into a multi-million-pound success.
