I’ve spent more than 25 years owning and running companies across the US, UK, and Australia — and I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to build and lead a business that lasts. As an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year winner, I’m proud to say I’ve walked the talk when it comes to entrepreneurship and growth. At 30, I co-founded a multinational business, navigated the U.S. financial crisis with a team of more than 150 people, and successfully exited after 10 years.
In 2010, my family and I moved from New York City to Australia, where I went on to hold several Director roles before launching The BX Collective in 2018.
