CO-FOUNDER OF                  EXPLORER OF THE FUTURE

TRANSFORM YOURSELF AND TRANSFORM YOUR ORGANISATION

I have always been an Explorer of the Future. Shazam started in 2000, long before smartphones even existed. It took us 18 years to achieve overnight success, inventing new business models and adapting as we went.  

Since selling Shazam to Apple for a reported $400 million, I have invested in game-changing companies shaping our future. From OpenAI to the latest climate tech, I have investments in 250+ cutting-edge startups. I learned the hard way how to adapt to the future, and I share how to transform yourself and transform your organisation
