ENTREPRENEURIAL,
PARTIALLY DRIVEN BY NOT
BEING GREAT AT
CONFORMING."
the experiences that I’ve had, like
being a stay-at-home dad, leading a
team and changing industry, have
coloured my vision to want to make
an impact rather than be a success.
Growing up in an environment that
wasn’t affluent meant I was fiscally
minded and saw opportunities as
scarce, which made me cherish them
when they came along. Admittedly, I
was also fairly lazy and didn’t

with this and find it refreshing.
My final strength is being resistant
to conformity and enthusing others
to embrace and celebrate difference
and uniqueness.
