Current thinking

Exploring, not claiming. Current questions I am working on — not achievements.

Whouno

Thesis. As AI makes information and content abundant, genuine human relationships become more valuable — not less.

After decades building businesses across industries and countries, I believe relationships are one of the most undervalued forms of capital. Not a contact list — social capital. A trusted introduction from someone whose judgement you respect can change a career, close an investment, or start a company. I have seen that repeatedly.

Whouno is my attempt to explore how individuals and organisations can understand, strengthen, and benefit from the networks they build over a lifetime — ethically and transparently.

I have become increasingly interested in how technology can help people benefit more fairly from the relationships they spend a lifetime building. That is the question Whouno is built around — not selling access to contacts.
