An MBA graduate at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, he won The Telegraph's Digital Innovation Award in 2011, was recognised as one of London's 1,000 most influential individuals and ranked as Top 25 Within New Media in 2009 by The Evening Standard. 

He was formerly a technology feature writer for Sky News and is known for helping launch Glassdoor.com in Europe; he has also previously held the title of Head of Digital Product Development at The Times and The Sunday Times.

Divido is building the world's largest platform for point-of-sale finance. For retailers, this can be used to manage multiple lenders and finance products in one or more countries through a single interface; for lenders, the platform enables the protection and growth of existing retailer relationships.
