| ENTREPRENEUR I'm not the richest man in the world. However, I am proud to be a self-made thousandaire! I admit that I have made plenty of business mistakes but I have also been given some pretty sound guidance under some great mentors. I fundamentally believe in bootstrapping. And I still believe in this process. In the very beginning I had one employee (me), no revenue and no product and/or service. Fast-forward to the present day and revenue is steadily growing month on month, year on year and there's enough cash flow to comfortably pay myself and seven staff and fund my wacky adventures. I've always believed that clients will readily embrace minimalism, fewer choices and greater consistency. Although my skills are pretty varied, I know that my greatest assets consists of loyalty, interpersonal skills and a sense of humour. I'm a founding partner of an international growth consultancy (formerly davenport & davenport, Est in 2008), employing an international team of several skilled professionals. We invent and re-invent businesses, brands and products. With offices in Vilnius, Moscow and Copenhagen respectively, we provide business direction for clients with a cultural edge. To date we have jump started three enterprises, and sold two. We have helped and supported several European SMEs realize their potential, establish and grow. We live in exciting times. In March we launched a new and exciting enterprise, in a new sector, which expands our range of services further reaching a global market. |
