I work on the adage that the more experience one gains, the more one can offer a future employer and yourself as a person.
I started life as a trained chef and partner in a restaurant business, only to find out that I was a pretty awful cook. From selling my business at age twenty-two, I became voluntary Chairman of two charities that were in distress, saving both of them from the rigours of financial insolvency; which then led me to utilizing my skills at the United Nations during the Bosnian War. Building on the operational and financial skills I have gained.
My abilities in eCommerce led me to Hong Kong at the end of 1999, where I worked for Hong Kong Telecom as head strategist of eConsulting and IT strategy, noting that my only knowledge of IT at that time was that all computer systems had flashing lights and a plethora of cables.
From the heady IT & Telecommunications industry, I moved to the Recruitment Industry, where I had remained for some years in leading one of Asia’s largest independent recruitment firms over eight offices in Hong Kong, China, Singapore & Thailand.
My most recent incarnation has focused my energies on operational management, human resources, business development and financial control of one of the region’s most respected Trust and Fiduciary organisations engaged in helping firms enter the China market through management of their operations and business interests. This includes accountancy, legal, trade and company structures through a consultative approach that encapsulates the client business needs when trading far from their own shores.view less
