Enterprising

I have a passion for enterprise so as well as being Managing Director at Chapter Eight, I also hold a number of other Executive and Non Executive positions in companies in the United Kingdom and in the United States.

Chapter Eight

I have led Chapter Eight for 6 years as Managing Director with responsibility for taking the business from start up and turning it into one of the fastest growing and most successful digital agencies in the UK today.

Intelligist

Intelligist was founded in November 2003 as a result of a conversation with colleagues who I had worked with at Regional Independent Media. They wanted high level newspaper industry related strategic advice and my background in new media in the newspaper industry was a perfect match. Today, Intelligist advises media companies, investment banks and research groups such as De Matteo Monness in New York.

BBC

In 2006, Chapter Eight became an approved supplier to the BBC's New Media Commissioning division. As a result of our contributions to the BBC since 2006, I was asked to act as an external advisor on the BBC New Media Advisory Panel. This group of movers and shakers from new media, digital and independent television help guide the commissioning structures in place at the BBC to ensure the right talent gets the right resource at the right time.

Credit Style

Founded in 2007, Credit Style is a financial services business specialising in debt collection, debt counseling and online payment systems. I have been instrumental in the setup of the company from initial incorporation, first round funding and initial IT infrastructure. Now as a Non Executive Director, I have responsibility for the strategic evolution of the business IT systems.

Kids Count

Kids Count is part of EMAP's Big City Charities project and is the Leeds and West Yorkshire charity charged with EMAP's goal of providing for children in the catchment area of their leading radio stations. Along with Radio Aire in Leeds, Kids Count makes it possible for disadvantaged children across the City and in the region to benefit from the work the charity does on a day-to-day basis. As a Trustee and Non Executive Director of the Charity I work to raise the profile of its campaigns and provide the technology (through Chapter Eight) to drive its online presence.

DeMatteo Monness

DeMatteo Monness is a boutique primary research firm and full-service broker-dealer for investment funds. The firm is a specialised agency brokerage with equity trading operations in New York and Boston. I provide consultancy services to DeMatteo Monness and in particular newspaper industry analysis and comment.
