Beliefs:
Formal education isn’t everything—I didn’t graduate. Instead, I’ve pursued self-education in finance, economics, leadership, and history, turning knowledge into action and success. I’ve completed advanced programs in corporate finance, M&A, and investment banking from The London School of Economics and the Corporate Finance Institute.

Beyond Business: 
A former pro-footballer (soccer ⚽ player, if you like 😉) and ex-military professional, I bring discipline, resilience, and teamwork to everything I do. I write for Forbes and Entrepreneur.com, host the Business Turnaround podcast, and mentor business owners on capital raising, scaling, and exits. As CIO of Echo8, I apply my expertise to identify high-impact projects, evaluate investment feasibility, and secure funding to drive transformative growth.
