After a successful exit from his main business in 2001, John turned to helping other business leaders, especially entrepreneurs through a portfolio of directorships, coaching and consulting assignments. He has led both company turnarounds and rapid growth situations. He has chaired a thriving Business Angel Network and personally invested in eighteen early stage companies over the past five years. As its Chairman, he repositioned one company to achieve a return of five times initial investment within a year when co-investing alongside a venture capitalist.

Awarded an OBE for “Services to entrepreneurship and business…”, he is a frequent speaker at events for the entrepreneurial community on the subjects of business leadership and early stage business funding.
