In 2017 I had a final exit from Esendex to HgCapital, after a 2013 investment by Darwin Private Equity. Esendex is an international provider of business SMS messaging services that I co-founded in 2001

Over the last few years I have held several non-executive and mentoring roles with start-ups alongside a series of investments. I was also pro bono executive chair to Open to Export. In 2016 I founded and crowd-funded ETE TriCamps and ran a professional triathlon race team: ETE Racing

I am an avid surfer and enthusiastic multi-sport athlete. In 2018 I represented Great Britain at the Age Group Aquabike Championships but am now - always #ontrend - focusing on Gravel Riding.
