About me
I live in New York and work on revolutionary products (dandy, aurora, zoox). Grew up in the UK & Geneva. Studied at Oundle, Sheffield & Hult. Spent 8 years developing & taking novel autonomous vehicles to market in SF. Now I lead international expansion at dandy.
I’m abundance & economics minded. My superpower is turning ambiguous problems into clear options, then acting decisively.
Friends tell me I’m overly sarcastic, relentlessly curious, and annoyingly determined.
Things I'm interested in
Category defining products.
Think Apple Silicon, Waymo One, Eight Sleep Pod-Cover, Robinhood Gold Card, ChatGPT, Starlink.
Autonomy and physical AI.
Worked on PCBA & FW engineering, ML development, product & GTM strategy. Believe autonomy should be & will be everywhere if you have a little patience.
Technology economics and capital markets.
From forward P/Es, to rate hikes, to dilution. I enjoy monitoring the situation.
Entrepreneurship and great man theory.
I don’t believe that it’s an accident that great shit happens in the world. Certain people and teams bend history to their world view.
Europe.
It’s currently off-track, falling behind the US in key technologies and general prosperity. What can be done?
Elite endurance sports.
Pro cycling, long-distance triathlon, and ultra running. Love mitochondrial efficiency. My hero is Chris Froome.
Manchester United.
In 2012, I chose the best team with young English players. It’s been up & mostly down since then. I watch every game. Glazers out!
Fun maxing.
My favorite things to do are bike-racing, skiing & sailing catamarans. I used to compete nationally, now I try not to take things too seriously.
Things worth returning to.
O-list is my running blog of products, places, events, gear, restaurants that I love and think the world should know about.
