Happy April! I am embarrassed it’s been so long since I have posted a newsletter, it’s easy to drop off the priorities list but I will now aim to give you some reasonably regular value for having subscribed - thank you again!!

I have been ramping up my ventures recently. I’ll share more in coming newsletters, but one of the ones I’m most excited about is Bondi Innovation Alliance, which aims to make Bondi region a world-class innovation center, with our first initiative Bondi Innovation Hub in the heart of Bondi Beach.

Have a fabulous day, be well!
