I have spent my entire career conceiving, producing and selling software. In the last 20 years I have founded 4 companies that employed many hundreds of people around the world, produced products that have come to dominate their market sectors and won numerous industry awards. My goals at work are simple: I am passionate about understanding the value of a business problem that needs solving and then working with a software team to produce and market software that actually solves that problem. Software and the associated business drives me and I am inspired by others of a similar disposition.
