My god-daughter Hannah

Matt and God-son Kieren

I am a co-founder of Minti.... Happily married with a baby boy born 11 April 08, and a proud god-father of two boys and one girl who are spread around the world.

• One godson: Archie, is in London.
• One godson: Kieren is in my hometown of Perth, Australia and
• my God-daughter: Hannah, is in Johannesburg South Africa (until recently was in Boston USA)

I come from a large modern family which includes 2 divorces, 4 half sisters, 2 full brothers and a step-sister. At one stage in my teens I had 13 different Grandparents and Great-grandparents who were alive (though not all sending Christmas presents ;) )

I try to balance work and play as much as possible in my life and decided to move back to Perth after 11 years in Europe because of the great weather and many lifestyle choices (beach, tennis, fishing, cafe's, etc) I was pretty surprised to discover how much exciting and cutting edge business is going on in our little (1.5m people) town :)

Many of my siblings were born whilst I was in my late teens so I had plenty of experience putting kids to sleep, changing nappies and so on...

I have worked in over 20 countries over the past 17 years with a focus on mergers and acquisitions in the telecoms field having been at companies such as PwC Consulting, Swisscom, Deutsche Telecom and Equant.
