My Story…

Hello, yes it is me – this website is not written by AI,  it’s all me – including the bad grammar

“I like to challenge your thinking, about what you think you know about tech, not just any tech, but tech that is profound, scary smart that  will extend life not just a few years, by decades changing the very fabric of society and what it is to be human. My job is to inform, show and tell and sometimes this will make you uncomfortable, which is a good thing.”  

Nick Ayton – Futurist

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 will astound you…

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…  

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.

I like to see things early, the trend, the writing on the wall, envision the art of the possible.

  • 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 a pioneer of business process outsourcing and transformation movement.   

‘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…
