He was a founding member and joint owner of Libra City Corporate Printing Limited where from 1983 to 1996, as Managing Director, he built and scaled the company prior to a trade sale to Unidigital, a Nasdaq quoted global printing company.

He joined Perivan in 1997 to form its financial printing division when he invested in the company prior to becoming a main board director in 2003.

In 2007, after talks with the fund administration community in the Channel Islands, he realised the potential for board pack preparation support and founded VirtualBoardrom which became one of the first board portals to exist.

VirtualBoardroom became part of Perivan’s Technology division which rebranded as Simplifie and the company was demerged into two separate entities in July 2019. He was a board director and shareholder of both.

Shortly after the demerger, an unsolicited approach was received from the leading global board portal provider, which led to the acquisition of Simplifie in December 2019.
