About Me

I'm a UK native who's called Africa home for the past 15 years. With a background as an officer in the British Army, serving in diverse global environments during peace and conflict, I bring a disciplined, adventurous perspective to my work.

Transitioning into the private sector, I've held executive roles in mining, including listing companies on the London Stock Exchange and overseeing hands-on operations across the continent. My approach is always boots-on-the-ground, focusing on practical solutions and cultural navigation.

Passionate about Africa's potential, I draw from lessons in mining and business operations and reflections on success on this continent. I aim to offer unique insights and an unrivalled network.

Professional Highlights

• Served worldwide as a British Army officer in peacekeeping and wartime missions, honing leadership in high-stakes settings.
• Led mining ventures from exploration to operation, successfully listing multiple entities on the LSE with a focus on African markets.
• Expert in pan-African business dynamics, including market entry, regulatory navigation, and risk assessment in sectors like mining, construction, heavy equipment and emerging tech.
• Building deep networks across West, East, Central, and Southern Africa through collaborations in politics, academia, and private equity.

Personal Interests

• I'm a fervent supporter of the multitude of sports that my children excel at, and can be found on the side of a field or pool most weekends.
• Travelling and immersion in the culture and community of foreign countries is what drives me and I delight in exploring these places with my family.
• Collector of NFTs and the occasional passing interest in "real" art.
• Writing for myself and, perhaps, one day for others.
