I have 25 years recruitment experience across UK, Australia and US. In that time I had success moving from $1m biller to Leader to Entrepreneur. By 2008, I co-founded ConSol Partners, an award winning tech staffing business built on a clear philosophy: * Control and Accountability: Success is driven by individuals, not luck or circumstance. * Specialization: Focus on high-value, future-proof industries rather than low-value, high-volume models. * Learning and Development: Invest heavily in training and progression for every team member. * Innovation: Focus on what’s coming next and stay ahead of the curve. We stayed true to these principles, growing the business to $50 million in annual sales with offices in four global locations and placements in over 60 countries. We grew the business rapidly and in 2013 I moved back to Los Angeles to establish and grow our US presence. By 2019, after 12 years of growth and hard work, we achieved a full exit by selling to a public company at 8.6x multiple. That’s when I embraced my next chapter. Today, I’m based in Los Angeles, where I focus on investing in tech, private equity, and real estate. Through MDC Ventures, I help businesses and leaders master the art of growth, innovation, and leadership with a specialism of helping UK companies establish and scale stateside. My approach is built on hard-earned lessons and straight-talking honesty. Here’s what I’ve learned along the way: * Be Yourself: People buy into people, not façades. Show your personality, admit mistakes, and let others see who you really are. * Take Risks: You can’t achieve something extraordinary without stepping outside your comfort zone. * Know Yourself: Your career should reflect your values, not someone else’s expectations. * Build a Philosophy: Success comes from having a clear approach to how you work and lead. * Focus on the Future: Always look five years ahead. Where will the opportunities be? * Embrace Accountability: Own your success, and take responsibility for your outcomes. I’ve built a multi-million $ businesses, interviewed hundreds of people, and now work as an advisor and investor. But the truth is, I’m still learning every day. If you’re ready to embrace the same mindset—one of urgency, accountability and action—then I’d love to help you carve your own path to success. Let’s get to work.
