关于我

I am writing this by candlelight. I'm not really sure why.

Kind to insects. Never ever kicks puppies. Smiles at grannies on the bus. A bastard by all other accounts.

I'm an entrepreneur.

I'm one of the founders of an art/culture magazine in the UK, called Oh Comely. It's a magazine that makes people smile, full of quiet moments and stories. Read it with a cup of tea. I'd love to show you a copy sometime. I ran it and its sister creative agency until 2016, when it was acquired, though whenever I see it in shops, I move it right to the front of the shelves, WHS merchandising team be damned.

I had a Scarlett O'Hara moment in 2016 and developed and sold a second data-science / big-data outfit in 2017. So I guess I still do some technology work on the back of these, and also with the Australian Government in strategy consulting. I have an honorary research position at UCL, and I'm also an executive producer of films in Singapore with Giraffe Pictures.

Talk to me about healthcare and health tech, bioengineering, plants and films and artbooks, and definitely not fintech and public service!

Disclaimer:

These are lame, but this is what the inbox of hosts in big cities (London, New York, etc.) looks like. We get ten requests a day:

If you send us a copy-paste, we probably won't host you. Tell me a fun fact or about a life-changing film or academic paper that you've read, and I'll do my best to accommodate you. And if you're willing to come for a climb (legal or otherwise), I will be literally ten times more likely to host you.

兴趣

I love climbing, photography, films, and mathematical biology. I also love urban exploration. And I'm always looking for good rope belayers.

I have an intense curiosity about the world, which probably means I'll constantly be asking questions about what you do, why you do it, and what is it you love about what you do.
