Years with the company: since the beginning – I founded the company some 13 years ago.
Lives in London, UK, but I spend approximately two weeks of every month in New York!
First Job in the energy efficiency IT sector: I’ve always been passionate about the environment, especially when it comes to wasted energy and resources in IT – that’s my driving force and reason for setting up 1E and enabling the company to become not only one of the fastest-growing fastest growing and successful private technology companies but also the market leaders in PC power management.
Favorite energy efficiency home improvement: My ethos and the company’s ethos is to be energy-efficient and save money as a result. In our family home, energy efficiency is a lifestyle; you’ll find energy-efficient lighting and appliances, insulation, glazing and recycling bins for paper, plastic, metal and general food waste – of these, it’s hard to chose a favorite!
When not at the office, likes to ski, workout, or relax with a nice glass of wine.
