Bio

Passionate about learning, start-ups, tech, and entrepreneurship, but most importantly working with great people to make the world a better place. I believe there is no substitute for hard work (and a little luck) and love finding new ways to solve old problems. Currently, I devote all my energy to Jem, an HR technology company I co-founded that is building HR software specifically for deskless/frontline employees in emerging markets. We have an audacious vision which I am very excited about. Building Jem is a dream come true, and we've been lucky enough to assemble an incredible team that I'm positive will continue to turn the dream into reality. With a background in Accounting & Finance, I’ve spent most of the last 8 years working within small companies & start-ups to influence their growth and trajectory, and have learnt a lot of hard lessons along the way. I always ask why and am curious about why things work as they do. I take huge satisfaction in helping people (clients, colleagues, peers, friends, and family) achieve their goals and devote my energies to this end. Personally, I am outgoing and ambitious and hold my friends in high regard. I have a generous nature, a good sense of humour, love being outdoors and exercising, and play multiple sports socially. Outside of Jem, I am a 20:40 Founding Member, am part of the Harambean Alliance and am an Oppenheimer Fellow. I like to do some Angel Investing where I can, and love getting involved in early-stage start-ups in whatever way I can (primarily so I can learn). I am also involved in running Nutbrook Property, the property development company I co-founded.
