Some of my work

Over the last two decades I've helped many entrepreneurs in a number of different ways. This page showcases some of my work.

My work has had a common thread: helping other business owners succeed.

Helping others succeed is what drives me - I know if I can help one business owner be more successful, that will have a knock-on impact with their direct team, their families, and their extended communities. Its a positive ripple effect.

Founded Applied Acquisitions in 2023

At the beginning of 2023 I set off on a journey to build a portfolio of companies through acquisitions.

The name "Applied Acquisitions" came from the idea that as we acquire companies into the group, we'd apply our growth and scaling playbooks to each business, and this is how we'll quickly increase the enterprise value.

As of January 2024, we've acquired 3 businesses into the portfolio.

Co-Founder and COO at REAL Success Network

I joined Brian Walsh as co-founder at REAL Success Network as we repositioned the business to survive through COVID.

Over the next 2.5 years we built a multi-million dollar company, hosting what was at the time the largest live online personal development summits in the world, with over 100,000 people registered to attend.

I worked with an amazing team and some truly incredible speakers.

I'm still a shareholder and passionate about the personal development industry.

Autotask Implementations and Automation Consulting

I worked with the team at Blackfox Consulting where we implemented Autotask for MSP clients.

This was a great role where I was able to spend time diving deep into the business processes of the MSPs we worked with, helping them improve their operations with great tools.

In many cases, I was able to leverage the tools we were implementing as well as custom automation to make great improvements to their workflows, improving service delivery and reducing hours of manual work.

Founded GEM Custom Apps

I founded GEM Custom Apps in the early 2010's, building and running this custom dev agency through to 2018.

At GEM Custom Apps, we helped businesses meet their goals, drive growth, and increase operational efficiency using custom-built web and mobile apps and optimized digital solutions.

This included all flavours of web apps, custom iOS and Android mobile apps, system integrations and automations, and support and maintenance services to keep meeting those goals as the market and technology landscape changed.
