HELLO,
A BIT ABOUT ME:
I am a former British Army Officer who has returned to the commercial world as founder of Ridgeback Ventures Ltd after ten very fulfilling, varied and successful years of service in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces.
For a snapshot of who I am professionally and what value I may be able to bring to our working relationship, please peruse the links What Others Say and My CV.
South African by birth, I have called the United Kingdom home since 2000 after having lived and worked in the United States and Europe. When I arrived in London, I became a business sales executive for a contract publisher, deciding to study Business Management with Economics in 2003.
At the time, I was an international student and my tuition fees were hefty. However, I relish a challenge and was able to fund a large part of my studies independently from the commission I made from my sales job.
My Army career started in 2006 when I successfully completed the rigorous leadership course for officers at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. I have captained the Army Ladies' tennis team, played polo for my Corps and have organised expeditions to Morocco and France. In 2011, I deployed on operations to Afghanistan. I became a British citizen in 2007.
I was medically discharged from the British Army following an injury I sustained during my military career. I continue to undergo intensive rehabilitation at Tedworth House and the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath.
Founder of Ridgeback Ventures Ltd, I am now focused on helping people who need to sell their houses quickly and to help investors get a great return on their money. Longer term, the business will also allocate part of its portfolio to house Veterans in need of accommodation. Check out our website here
