Lessons in Having A Go...

In 2015 I grabbed the opportunity to start a business from nothing. Using twenty-five years of experience and skills, my goal was to grow the idea into a flourishing venture for the team and our investors.

That company was Contact Light, and I'm very proud of the products we launched - Embark and Nearcast. They were fresh and innovative - built with passion and grit by a very talented team.

Contact Light may not have been the success we hoped for, but it was a collection of experiences and valuable lessons learned.
