About Me

In 2005 I stepped away from a successful corporate career and created a new business Whole Kids with my wife Monica. My business is founded on the principle of profit with a purpose, and we're Australia's first food company to be certified a B Corporation.

I believe that business is ideally placed to actively solve many social and environmental problems and, in turn, redefine the concept of what a business is.
