As Enterprise Nation&apos;s Head of community it&apos;s my job to make sure that you’re getting the most from your membership. If you’re a small business owner I&apos;ll make sure that we’re matching you to the support you need to start and grow your business. For advisers, that means making you aware of every available opportunity to promote your expertise to the rest of the community and connecting you with entrepreneurs that are looking for support.

Working closely with our Platform team, I&apos;ll help ensure that you can easily navigate our website and that your user experience is seamless.&nbsp;

There are three simple but important ideas around finance that entrepreneurs MUST know:
<ol>
<li>first, finance is not nearly as complicated as people think - it&apos;s based on a dozen very simple concepts that explain ALL of finance;</li>
<li>that, statistically, entrepreneurs who understand finance have far better chances of raising funds AND have a far greater chance of running a viable business;</li>
<li>thirdly, finance is about the future (accounting is only a small part of it), it&apos;s about being smart about how you build the business, it&apos;s creative, and it&apos;s as much a part of the entrepreneurial armoury as great design, great engineering, and great marketing.</li>
</ol>
I think finance is your secret weapon, your unfair advantage!
I have 35 years in multiple financing environments, from large scale transactions in the US, Europe, UK and Asia, right down to entrepreneurial financing and start-ups as a founder, fund manager, investor, trouble-shooter, I&apos;ve written and read countless business plans, and built countless financial models.
I&apos;ve also coached and taught many entrepreneurs (as well as senior corporate execs, national business journalists, analysts, consultants and wealth &amp; asset managers). I really enjoy it! And I&apos;ll be happy to help you.
