Why I do this work
I’ve lived at the intersection of high performance and deep purpose, and learned what it takes to protect both before one breaks the other.
The turning point
My path has been anything but linear: multi-disciplinary performer (singer/songwriter, guitarist, jazz vocalist, theatre actor), personal trainer, wellbeing specialist, coach, workplace wellness consultant, and co-founder of Unmind, Europe’s leading workplace mental health platform.
I’ve worked with some of the world’s most influential organisations and seen what it takes to lead, grow, and thrive. But in 2024, a health crisis and breakdown brought everything to a halt. The crash wasn’t just about doing too much - it was the culmination of deeper systems: the environments I was in, the habits I’d built, the wiring I hadn’t understood, and the expectations I carried.
It showed me that leadership strain is never just about working too much. It’s about the whole system: your body, your mind, your patterns, and the world you’re navigating.
Recovery gave me clarity. Not just about how to live, but about how to work in a way that doesn’t cost your soul.
Now, I help others find that clarity too. So they can lead meaningful lives, do meaningful work, and reach big goals without losing themselves along the way.
What drives me now
I’m driven by the gift of life itself, and the opportunity each of us has to live it fully. At this stage, making the most of life no longer means chasing achievement. It’s about discovering who we’re truly here to be and living from that place with courage and heart.
I believe in human flourishing: in work and in life. In aligning our energy, talents, and values so we can contribute to something bigger than ourselves. In creating and leading in ways that serve not just success, but the wellbeing of people and the beauty of life around us.
Beyond work
Outside of work, I stay connected to what keeps me alive and grounded. Music has always been a throughline, and I’ve written hundreds of songs and still record when inspiration calls.
You’ll also often find me walking in the woods near my home or spending slow time with my wife, Laura, and our dog, Lola… and hopefully, soon, a growing family.
Time out like this isn’t a luxury. It’s what keeps me human. And it’s what helps me bring my full self to the work I do.
