Welcome to my world
Not so long ago, I was running my own small multi-national company.
Now, I’m a writer, podcaster and occasional advisor to several small companies that I believe in.
I love travel – I’ve been lucky enough to visit over 140 countries – I love cooking, I love people and I have an opinion on almost everything.
On this website, you’ll find evidence of all of these passions.

There's no Business like International Business
My new book was published in March 2022 by Matador.
It’s a light-hearted and largely true story of two long business trips I made in the early 2000s.
Part One is a whirlwind business trip around half the countries in South America in just a fortnight, faceing near-death experiences in planes and cars, meeting civil insurrection face-to-face, risking kidnap and having to overcome mindless bureaucracy that could derail the itinerary on a daily basis.
Then, in Part Two, a three week trip around the Far East in the company of a obstreperous, can’t-do-without but can’t-do-with female colleague, learning new cultures fast.
