Profile of uncompromise

I’m a sustainable venture strategist, systems thinker, writer, speaker and agitator – and for the past seventeen years have been focused on founding, catalysing and commercialising sustainable ventures with a view to shifting the needle. I started copywriting for DMB&B at the age of fourteen (their first year of operation), and by the time i finished high-school, realised that advertising was not for me … then, after another year at university in preparation to study law I realised that becoming a lawyer wasn’t for me either. So i followed in the unmarked footsteps of Australia’s indigenous and did what they had been doing for tens of thousands of years … … I went walkabout … After four years living on the road around Australia – including almost a year spent living in the forest in the south-west of Western Australia, and another year spent living in a remote island community between the northern-most tip of Australia and Papua New Guinea, I returned to the world, shaved off my dreads and got to work. I’ve been an innovator in sustainable ventures in Australia and amongst other things: * setup the first organic restaurant * setup the first environmental cleaning company * setup the first dedicated cause marketing consultancy * was a founding director and current advisor to One Health Organisation * am a former committee member of the Natural Health Care Alliance (a governing body that worked to bring together 140 disparate professional organizations) * am a former executive committee member of The Big Issue (Qld). * have overseen services to over 300 projects – from micro business to multi national – in nine countries in the past four years alone I have no permanent address, and move wherever my work takes me
