Change catalyst, critical friend, amateur photographer and all round curious guy. https://www.artsteps.com/view/5eef248916834802f0e54cbd www.sainows.com * I help founders and early stage enterprises BUILD BETTER BUSINESSES - more robust, more scalable and, ultimately, more investable/saleable. * I draw upon 40 years insight and experience delivering complex and transformational initiatives across cultures and geographies, and apply the mindset of a physicist - Oxford MA. * I am an expert in HUMAN CHESS - the art of getting the right people into the right places at the right time to do the right things in the right way for the right reasons * My connections report that I have helped reveal “blindspots”, improve accountability and help their preparation and planning. Personally I really enjoy good company, good beer and good music; not necessarily in that order. I have a huge curiosity and broad set of interests. Currently I am a fervent advocate for the best COVID test the world has not heard of yet, the value of self-awareness, particularly the values that drive behaviour in finding your purpose and path in this life and the value of bridging across generations. Some favourite quotes: “If you can’t write it down you don’t understand it.” “Keep your eye on and drive for the outcomes you truly desire.” “It is not all about the tech’.” “People find time for the things they value.” My epitaph will likely be, “Never knowingly without an opinion.” www.ianjsutherland.com
