Co-founder and CEO of tickadoo - the most exciting new entry into the ticketing space in decades. Still pre-launch, tickadoo is a AI-driven conversational commerce city discovery platform with a host of new and original features to be launched in 2024. Seasoned experts in both the ticketing and technology space, I co-founded London Theatre Direct in 1999 with Emmanuel Ciolfi. Our trailblazing ticketing platform was the UK's first online, rapidly elevating us to one of the nation's premier ticket sellers. We were lauded for our innovative approach, introducing industry-first features like live seating plans and API connectivity. Notably, we became the world's first ticket company to accept Bitcoin. Cumulatively, we generated over $1 billion in ticket sales through our bespoke system, crafted from the ground up. In 2019, the business was acquired by Trafalgar Entertainment. Separately from tickadoo, I'm also founder and CEO of Audiama, a brand new audio drama production company based in Cardiff, Wales. Audiama has just started production on a raft of new projects the likes of which have never been heard before in the audio space. Using cutting edge Dolby Atmos, these new full cast, full score original dramas will be as transformative as they will be thrilling. As a multifaceted entrepreneur, I've invested in and mentored a diverse array of companies and funds, including StartupYard, Blue Horizon Ventures, FTW Ventures, SIMULATE, Wellplaece, OzoneX, Baobab Network, and Outlier Ventures. I also run Metaverse Ventures, focusing on emergent Web3 technologies like blockchain and AI. I host the "Tech To The Future" podcast and contribute to publications including Rolling Stone. My filmography includes Michael Sheen led "The Gospel of Us," and the Oscar®-qualified short film "Tech To The Future." I am honoured to also dedicate a lot of my time to my local YPO chapter in my roles as Chapter Chair and Learning Officer.
