Why I'm standing

I love this community and want to contribute positively and enthusiastically to its sustainable future. I have experience many don't have in areas of finance, business, marketing and governance to contribute. My engagement in the community over the past 22 years would affirm I am a "doer" - not one to sit back and moan and do nothing. Right now I have the time and interest.

About me

As previously noted, after 40+ years and advertising, media and marketing industries, I am very much an open, collaborative contributor. I am very much a listener, get to the key strategy and get on with implementation. Many in the community would attest to that.
