Bio

After a 27 year career in finance, the last 16 as CFO, I finally committed the terrifying and incredibly exciting act of jumping ship from the big corporate world to follow my dreams.  

I set about creating a framework around the methods and techniques that I have used throughout my 27 year career, which took me from being a young auditor, travelling to about 20 different countries in 2 ½ years, to Finance Director during a Management Buy Out, to buying and selling several businesses all around the world and finally to selling the original business. 

'I hate wasting time' 

That's where Productivity Powerhouse was born; I distilled everything down from my experience into a structure which I call The Five Pillars of Awesome. Because I have been through the same challenges that you are going through I am uniquely placed to bring you the most cutting edge information in whatever format suits you and your schedule best. 

We have only one life and yet it constantly surprises me at how people will let this most valuable of commodities slip through their fingers.  The worst feeling on earth must be that of regret and no-one wants to be lying on their death bed starting their final words with “I Wish…” or “If only ….”.  The way to avoid this is to make sure that you are making the very best use of every moment.
