ventures

I am interested in ideas about entrepreneurship and innovation and I believe these ideas are refined, and sharpened through their practical application. Coming from the world of media and think tanks, I am relatively distinctive for the extent to which I have been involved in ideas building, and applying these ideas in practice. I have also moved fluidly between not-for-profit and commercial models experimenting with seeding ideas, and approaches from different sectors. I have now spent over ten years, testing and experimenting with ideas - in practice, and often at personal financial risk - with failures and successes, though in truth it is the failures that I have learnt the most from.
