About me

My boss had a problem. Housing policy leads were blocking ideas to build more homes. He was meeting them tomorrow; could I help

I grasp the root cause of a problem, embrace uncertainty, and compare solutions. I need to understand holistically and flip between viewpoints. I overcome entrenched beliefs, posing problematic questions.

Stealth Dyslexia defined school and career. Computers enabled me to write. I won 'best new play' in the Southend Drama festival and achieved three readings at the National Theatre. My screenplays attracted consideration from producers, directors and performers including Jack Shepherd, and Patrick Allen.

I moved to London to train as an actor, with a talent for improvisation and directing; I performed in Fringe Theatre, short films, and TV.

Acting & writing taught me psychology, motivations, biases, beliefs, incentives, and interactions. I plunge into research for every new encounter.

When diagnosed Dyslexic at HMT, I accelerated my reading, digesting over 400 audio-books: Strategy, Economics, Philosophy, Psychology, Business, Sales, Communication, Marketing, Statistics, Science...no limits.

Technology increased my reading and writing speed, and I developed expertise in critical thinking and problem solving, by relentless, eclectic learning.
