01 Credo
Willing Able Willingable

Not optimism. The willingness and the ability to act.

I choose to be willingable — to find solutions, take action, keep learning and help others. I don't focus on whether the glass is half full or half empty. I see the bottle, the tap, the dam and the rain clouds that fill it. I focus on outcomes and the solutions that achieve them — recognising that without action, neither matters.
Bottle

What holds.

Tap

What releases.

Dam

What stores and regulates.

Rain clouds

What refills.

Over 40 years Without action, neither matters

04 Experience — past & present

Four decades, in order

A track record built on early action, positions of responsibility, and sustained work with government agencies.

  1. At school

    First business

    I started my own small business whilst still at school — installing car security, audio and locking systems.

  2. 18

    Company director

    I became a company director at 18. Since then I have been a Director of many organisations around the world, and joined many boards and bodies as President or Director.

  3. 40 years

    Government agencies

    Working with government agencies around the world for almost 40 years to improve systems and infrastructure — which has shown me many opportunities I have been able to assist with.

  4. 1996

    High security clearances

    I was fortunate to spend time with agencies across the USA, Spain and the EU, and I have obtained multiple high security clearances for some of my roles and qualifications.

  5. Today

    Boards & organisations

    I continue to be the owner, founder, director or board member of various organisations, with many regulated accreditations still held today.

With decades of practical leadership, technical expertise and regulated industry accreditation — many maintained today — the most important skill remains being willingable.
