Experience Changes Perspective
Dr M's Experience
Dr M's mentoring and advisory work draws upon decades of experience across entrepreneurship, business leadership, consulting, valuation, intellectual property, academia, authorship and business growth.
But experience is not simply measured by successes. Dr M's own journey has included significant professional success, profound adversity and rebuilding. Those experiences have shaped how he thinks about risk, opportunity, people, business, resilience and purpose.
Today he brings those lessons to private conversations with individuals, founders, business owners and leadership teams facing important decisions of their own.
