I am a confident, independent self-starter with competitive drive, initiative and sense of urgency. The ability to make decisions and take responsibility whilst reacting and adjusting quickly, formulating new ideas to deal with changing conditions. 

I set high standards of achievement, always looking for opportunities to compete and to win. Venturesome and stimulated by new challenge/situations, generally driving to new horizons. Ambitious both personally and in business. 

 Socially I like to Surf, Ski, Climb, CrossFit, Kayak, Mountain-bike, Sail and pretty much anything else that gets me out and keeps me fit. A little closer to home I enjoy good food, good drink and movies.
