Who I am

I build because the world is unfinished and automate because time is precious.

I'm a maker, thinker, entrepreneur, and father.

According to Gallup, my strengths include finding connections, creating alternate ways to proceed, and inspiring others with visions of the future. People typically describe me as calm, curious, and perceptive.

After 21 years as a B2B SaaS CEO at Spikefin and Optimal Workshop, I'm now building Ortomate, an AI Product Studio.

I live on the Kāpiti Coast in New Zealand.

What I'm focusing on right now

  • Championing the AI and automation transformation at Runn 🚀
  • Enjoying the process of Prompt Craft to create genuinely useful AI agents. Feels a lot like sculpting (or finding) an ideal assistant within the noise. Currently working on:
    • Marketing and sales augmentation for effective outbound communication
    • Business process automation for legacy systems to find huge new efficiencies
    • Transforming educational training experiences with AI agents
  • I've been having some fun with an assistant who behaves like a tough love drill sergeant. So rude! So intolerable! But so effective.
  • Staying current industry trends like Service as Software through reading and reflection.
  • Kitting out my little cabin office in the hills with a stereo and some extra solar to power it.
