KBZ Ltd is the company I use for consulting and investments.

Livebookings is Europe’s largest online marketing and reservations service for the restaurant industry. We help restaurants fill their tables by delivering customers through a free online booking service and network of high-profile partner websites. Livebookings enables free real-time, online reservations on restaurant websites and helps restaurants to access customers that would otherwise be difficult to reach through a global network of partners.

Grew the Europe, Middle East and Africa business of AeroScout to a 5m Euro run rate of business, adding key strategic partnerships (BT, Telindus, Telefonica, IBM, etc.), strategic end customers (such as TNT Express, Airbus) and driving regional joint success with technology partners such as Cisco Systems.

I led the early growth, strategy and development of the company which led to becoming the leader in the enterprise real-time location and asset management business globally. I took responsibility for business development & strategy (defining the business model etc., key strategic relationships with Cisco Systems), product management (determining hardware/software and solution mix, inventing key product areas) and all other marketing activities (branding, communications, in bound marketing).

Great experience learning to apply strategy tools & techniques for a range of customers in different industries.
