I am a tech-sector insider and my previous books include Tech-Powered Sales, published by HarperCollins New York.

Technology and automation is changing all professions, yet there is a timeless truth that guides everyone in sales and leadership – we must create value in every interaction while making a positive difference in the lives of others, personally and professionally.

I specialise in the technology and professional services sectors and have helped clients earn individual contracts in excess of $100 million. My clients include leading brands globally such as Salesforce, IBM, SAP, Adobe, Grant Thornton and Flight Centre Travel Group.
