Welcome to my home page!

The cheerful photo left is me on a good day after mochachino! Above is beautiful Appenzell where I live. Gruetzi!

My network is your network.

Be in touch, tell me what you want or who you need to meet and I will see what I can do to assist you, as Co-founder of XING.com I meet a lot of people and can therefore possibly make some useful introductions.

As an entrepreneur I have done the full spectrum from starting a local cafe to running a multinational, billion dollar, public company. I have had many highs and also a few lows which has taught me a lot. I offer free mentoring and coaching online to selected people so don't hesitate to ask.

My view of the world is that simply bringing people together often creates value
and that value in itself makes the exercise worthwhile so do not be surprised if you get an introduction to someone else from me.

In traveling the world you see many business opportunities go to waste for the want of two people getting together, so imagine how many great things can be achieved if it is made easy for us to put the right people in touch with each other?

This is why we built as we feel it is a great way for any business person to increase the chances of that new encounter where something great happens and the world needs people to make great things happen to counter the big issues such as climate change. For instance It is through my networking that I met Dr Ron Dembo and was able to purchase enough carbon offset credits to neutralize my and my families carbon footprint every year at his site http://www.zerofootprint.net

One thing I do make sure to do is keep my list of connections limited as there is only so much time in the day so please understand while I will assist anyone I am selective, in who I connect with and who I stay connected to, based on the activity of the person in question and whether I have met you personally or not.

As knowledge is also power please share some of your business knowledge by joining my business book review club for free here: http://www.openbc.com/cgi-bin/network.fpl?op=join&name=b...

The Hunger Project (THP) is simply the best strategic NGO (Non Government Organisation) I have found. It is dedicated to the end of chronic hunger in the world through intelligent and powerful strategic action using the principles of empowerment.

THP gives no charity handouts and the funds are used with great care
to effect the maximum return for investment in the future of the world using the tools of empowerment, self actualisation, social mobilisation and also equality for women.
