WHO AM I? I am a public company director and an operating partner at an early stage venture fund. People worldwide know me for three things: 👍🏿 First, I’m T-Shaped. What does that mean? Although I trained as a lawyer and spent 20 years driving sales and strategy in consumer-facing internet, I’ve driven innovation as a board director across three industries: Insurance, Staffing, and B2B SaaS. I can go wide and deep. ⭐️ Second, I practice Ubuntu. Not voodoo. Ubuntu is an African concept that means “I am because we are”. I enjoy creating opportunities for others, whether helping people get on boards or helping CEOs build their businesses. My personal motto is to count assists, not points scored. 👊🏾 Finally, I’m WYSIWIG - what you see is what you get. When you are aligned from the inside out, when you try to practice what you preach, people listen. And that makes communication easy. Most importantly, I help people who help people. WHAT I'VE DONE: ✓ Operating Partner @ $750m US multi-stage VC fund; 3 company valuations by 4x in 6 mo ✓ Dir @ £500m UK listed co; 3 new brands in 18 mos., stock +35% ✓ 6x public/private/non-prof Board Member - Chair, comp/gov/strat ✓ Fmr Obama Admin. appointee (@Commerce Dept.) ✓ Global exp: UK 4 yrs, Japan 2 yrs, ANZ 18 mo, deals in APAC/EU ✓ Mentor 4 black 1st time CEOs MY CORE VALUES: Operational excellence, intellectual growth, helping others.
