Scaling, Catalysing & Supercharging Growth Is What I Do. And None Do It Better.

From branding to marketing strategy, go-to-market (GTM), recruiting, raising capital & everything else in between, I’ve been at the forefront scaling and catalysing growth for countless SaaS, Fintech, Marketplace & PropTech companies and transformed them from just another tech startup and into a household name.

Whether it was founding my own fully serviced global recruitment agency, Foccus Group, or operating as a Managing Partner for Enamus, a leading global branding and digital agency, I’ve been at the forefront flipping countless industries on their head for years now.

And now, as the Co-CEO at X:Enabler, a successful IT innovation and digital transformation specialist, I’m able to leverage my vast experience, along with my passion for new-age technologies, and provide clients with the knowledge and advantages they need to stay ahead of the competition.

With the experts in tech innovation and client-focussed technology solutions by my side, a team of 75 (and scaling fast) groundbreakers, trailblazers, pioneers, and movers and shakers, plus my integral experience, unmatched growth mindset and relentless pursuit of the next big innovation (including Web3 & Blockchain), the future of growth is here.

And, best of all, with my help, it’s finally within reach.

I’m also the host of Startups and Unicorns, a monthly podcast that unpacks just what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur. Featuring some of the industry’s most influential people, it has climbed as high as second in the Entrepreneurship & Business category in Australia, on the Apple Podcast charts.

My Current Roles

I want to inspire others to realise the impossible is possible.

Foccus Group Managing Director

As the Managing Director of Foccus Group, a fully serviced global recruitment agency that specialises in the digital realm, you might say that we’ve flipped the script on outdated recruitment practices. We don’t just wait for talent to come to us, no, we hunt for it. We strive to find the best professionals out there, ready and waiting to use their expertise to make a difference.

Enamus Managing Partner

Fixated on establishing, enabling and catalysing growth for organisations, through red hot branding trends and innovative digital practices, Enamus is the global full-service branding and digital agency you need to know about. We are not a one-punch solution agency, implementing lacklustre and dated marketing strategies selected from a book, because each company is unique and so is your brand identity. When you think of Enamus, think strategy, design, campaigning and production.

X:Enabler Co-CEO

X:Enabler has been helping businesses stay ahead of the competition for over 10 years now. Using continuous innovation and a forward-thinking mentality, adopting new-age technologies such as AI, ML, RPA and IoT, and new-ways of doing things, we’re able to create better strategies, industry-leading solutions and products for our clients. We’re a cohesive ecosystem of highly skilled designers, developers, business analysts, testers, project managers, IT support specialists and more, but most importantly, it’s our passion for solving the unsolvable and passion for enabling our clients that truly drive us. X:Enabler are the problem-solvers you need to know about.

Bizpay Advisory board Member

Think of BizPay as the AfterPay for businesses. Our technology platform solves cash flow issues, reduces costs and increases sales by allowing your clients to pay just a quarter of the invoice value at the end of each month, interest free! Without having to consider cash flow at every turn, we help you attract new clients, that may otherwise be deterred by bulky upfront costs, and eliminate that going it alone mentality by making hiring professional services affordable.

Floofers Advisory Board Member

Whether you’re a pet lover, looking for a play date for your fur baby or just want to get paid for pet sitting, our innovative virtual platform helps simplify the pet caring process by connecting pet parents and passionate pet carers together. As Australia’s most advanced pet care platform, we use innovative screening techniques, just like popular ride-sharing companies, to ensure your fur babies are in the safest of safe hands with pet professionals we call - Floofers. Floofers are every day, hardworking Australians looking forward to taking care of your fur baby.

Anywhere Auctions Advisory board Member

As soon as Anywhere Auctions spotted a hole in the real estate market, they were right there to provide a solution. Combining modern technology with traditional auction practises, Anywhere Auctions lets you watch, bid and buy property from anywhere in the Australia directly from your smartphone or laptop. As an Advisory Board Member, I’m honoured to lend my digital expertise to the leaders of digital real estate auctions in Australia, and watch this game-changing concept take over the real-estate industry.

Women in Tech Brand Ambassador

Inequality for women still rears its ugly head. Despite being the 21st century, the gender gap, especially when it comes to technology, could not be more apparent. Well, Women in Tech is here to change that. We’re an international non-profit organisation on a mission to flip the script on this injustice, by empowering 5 million women and girls by 2030 to succeed in tech-based career fields. We’re focussing on four primary areas, education, business, social inclusion and advocacy, that desperately need action, to educate, equip and empower women and girls with the necessary skills and confidence they need to succeed.

Verticals

I’ve transformed countless companies who have enlisted my services from just another tech startup, to an innovator ready to flip the industry on its head. It’s time to make that multi-million dollar vision a reality. It’s time to get serious.

01.

Recruitment

Let’s not beat around the bush. As a company, you want to hire the best of the best skilled professionals, with an attitude to suit your company’s cultural mould. Through my extensive network and a decade of experience pairing talent with organisations, let me introduce you to what I call the ‘Netflix of recruiting’ and give your company’s recruiting process the boost it needs.

02.

Branding

Ever wonder what made Tesla, Amazon, Apple and Google household names? Branding. To put it plainly, a Brand is how someone perceives an organisation, and Branding? Well, that’s where I come in. Everything from your company’s culture to every customer touchpoint all impact your company’s brand. And with my help, we can shape that perception with a killer, yet unique, marketing strategy.

03.

Everything Digital

Whether it’s IT-enabled tools to improve UI/UX or the innovative practise of social selling, I make it my mission to stay on top of whatever’s trending, or even emerging, by staying ahead of the curve and ensuring your company’s digital space is well prepared for the future.

04.

Strategy

Integrating available and emerging digital tools for clients who need it the most.

05.

Advisory

More than just a consultant. I’m an investor in your brand. An equity holder that actually cares about your company. And with my years of experience helping SaaS, Fintech & PropTech companies scale and grow, I can’t wait to use my knowledge to help your company achieve the same limitless potential.

06.

Keynote

Confidence and finesse, combined with business and tech know-how.

Social

Always on top of whatever’s trending, in Australia and all over the world. Socially selling is the NORM.

Talent

Years on years of making mistakes and knowing how to spot talent from a mile away. Attitude over Skills. Skills can be taught, attitude cannot.

"Remember, an investment in self-development pays the highest dividends."
