Neurodiverse
How I see me
Over the last twenty years, I have been focused on helping business leaders operationalize great ideas. I did this through direct VC investment, hands on management and consultancy services. Included among these were Net-A-Porter and Cult Beauty.
In 2015 I was diagnosed with ASD, and now identify as Neurodiverse.
My heart felt belief as I have come to understand my diagnosis is that Neurodiversity inclusion benefits every organisation large or small, business or community and I encourage YOU to embrace everyone.
I focus on my Neurodiverse Strengths rather than my ‘weaknesses’
I do not seek sympathy, but assist people in understanding why I might be ‘different’
Neurodiversity is not a destiny or a ‘negative diagnostic assessment’
Neurodiversity
In Business
Historically I worked with founders and enjoyed mentoring senior leadership in early stage start-ups to develop scalable, intelligent business models.
My value to a business is to predict and deal with problems before they are problems
I can see an issue whilst it is still just an intangible but that understanding and identification enables avoidance of costly future tangible issues.
I calculate and produce multiple variations of key business variables, which in effect models multivariate scenarios linking, finance, operations, technology, which greatly reduces ‘costly trial & error processes
