I’m the founder and Chief Innovation Strategist at GenZen Solutions, a bespoke consultancy for cultural innovators to find solutions to their most critical threats and crises.

At times I occupy the role of fractional Innovation Manager, for qualified partners of GenZen Solutions.

Discovering overlooked Japanese post-war cinema and revisiting the brilliance that is 80’s Hong Kong films.
