Sydney

A career spent working in start ups at the leading edge of media, digital marketing and sustainability has prepared me well for our ever changing business landscape.

I began my career at the world's most famous advertising agency M&C Saatchi. I helped set up M&C Saatchi's first digital division in 1999.

In 2001 I moved to NYC where I witnessed first hand the devastating events of 9/11. This was the game changer for me to look at the world differently.

My wife and I traveled to South & Central America on our way to Australia in 2003. During the trip I read over 40 books related to how the world was changing..

At the same time we visited many of the world's most incredible but threatened eco-systems, most amazing cultures and communities. I’ve had the privilege to work on a wide range of amazing projects with wonderful people.

I work on projects in marketing, communications, sustainability, content, service design and conscious capitalism. For my career history please check out my LinkedIn profile

Alongside my passion for business I have a deep interest in how business can change the world for good.

I have studied at the Centre for Sustainability Leadership (where I have also sat on the board and been the Chair).

I am currently the voluntary CEO of Conscious Capitalism Australia.

I have created a sustainable timber plantation on 36 acres on the Sunshine Coast.

I've written regularly for industry media on the topics of sustainability and green marketing and have spoken at, or chaired, dozens of conferences.

In 2012 I attended Rio+20 where I launched an event called Plasticity in partnership with the Ocean Recovery Alliance.

I am the proud father of two wonderful children who have been the reason for changing the way I look at life.
