Who am I… 

I’ve been in tech for 40 years lived through each cycle mainframes to the desktop, the rise of the Internet, smartphones, and social media, Bitcoin, AI and Quantum and what is coming…you wouldn’t believe me.

Today, we’re on the brink of even greater transformations to society, the nature of work, knowledge and education, the things we take for granted — as waves of new disruptive technologies arrive all at once…  

We are entering a new age where the constraints of energy, longevity, and computation are fading. No longer an excuse or a barrier.

A world where intelligence is embedded into everything around us, a machine-assisted world where bots already outnumber humans, and robots will surpass us by 2030.

Where new business models will adapt in real-time to customer environments and economic conditions, driven by new kinds of ‘agenic’ AI that already knows what to do.

My job is to spot the trends and the next waves of tech that can be harnessed for competitive advantage and to re-shape entire industries and business models. 

• In 2016 I launched one of the first regulated Bitcoin trading exchanges operating in Malta/Wyoming

• In 2014 built a super scaling Fintech platform for the UK savings and pensions market

• In 1986 pioneered the Inflight Entertainment market for commercial airlines

• In 1997 was an early pioneer of business process outsourcing and transformation.   

The issue for humanity is the number of technologies arriving all at once, each profound, disruptive and some are dangerous.  

The question is no longer if change is coming—the question you should be asking it is how best to adapt to it, benefit from it, prepare for it…

Every business needs a plan – what’s yours?
