life. loves. obsessions.
life
I am a strategy consultant based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I founded Global Advisors in 2006 after 8 years at Gemini Consulting and a year at Deloitte before that.
GA is based on a belief that combining a quantitative approach to strategy with amazing people that share a strong set of values would allow me to build a special firm delivering great results for our clients.
My life is a mixture of business, team, family and friends.
loves
I am lucky to be loved by family, friends and a wonderful dog.
obsessions
A work colleague from Europe once laughed that I was a crazy mix – “A sports obsessed geek!”
I love technology, art, music, business, sports, photography, the bush – my obsessions are mixes of those.

My movie list
what’s your favourite movie…
That question has opened its way to friendships and relationships – or slammed it shut!
For a number of years I have tracked my movie watching history via IMDB. My ratings list includes 570 titles – you can see the full live list here.
Below is my list of movies I have scored 10 (the first 7 in the list) and then 9.
Ratings are personal – I rated moves that might be great – or just great to me.
Photography to me
skill. moments. interpretation. expression.
How did photography enter your life?
For me, there were the family photos with an instamatic camera that my mom took. They ended up in family albums and in frames on walls as memories of moments, family,…
