From cold-calling to relationship building, I help you to develop persuasive skills which exploit the psychology of influence to grow your income. My clients who sell equities, fixed income, derivatives & other securities have included Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, UBS, Nomura, Deutsche Bank, HSBC and Commerzbank. Securities Edge was a core component of an OD initiative I ran at one of the above - within 18 months we'd nearly tripled their securities sales revenues worldwide.

I have worked in 40 countries helping clients to increase their revenues and lock in customer loyalty.

I have led global corporate divisions and founded disruptive startups. My edtech startup MindZu made it to the finals of last year's Global EdTech Startup Awards. At Britefire, I help leaders develop strategies to thrive in disruptive marketplaces.

After leading the world-wide management services division of Nielsen, including their international school of sales, marketing and management, I founded a series of start-ups in Zurich, London, Washington DC and Cape Town. These covered fields as diverse as OD and executive development; computer games and simulations; CGI, virtual world and avatar tech; e-learning; and digital strategy consulting. What connects them all are my passion for education, digital technology, skill building and empowering.

I’ve published several books on digital business and marketing. For more than a decade I was the official 'e-learning guru' of the Association for Talent Development (then ASTD), and a judge of the Brandon Hall International Learning Excellence Awards. I lead business strategy workshops in mastering disruption, and boot camps in digital marketing and growth hacking.  I’m on the faculty of USB-ED, and I host the Growth Hackers TV talk show. I’m also an Associate of the Centre for Innovative Leadership, and a regular contributor to conferences on digital marketing, business strategy and future tech.
