I don’t only build platforms.
I build frequencies that refuse to die.

As the founder of Innovation Authority, I’m on a mission to reprogram what “innovation” really means — turning it from a buzzword into a living system where ideas, technology, and humanity converge.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping leaders rethink how their companies decide, evolve, and operate.

My background spans investment, executive advisory, and business model design — experience that taught me one thing: innovation is not about what’s next. It’s about what’s needed. 

But beyond IA, it has always been about something more elemental: helping founders, CEOs, and creators find the signal beneath the noise — and act from it.

Some call it consulting.
I call it being a Consigliere — the one who turns tension into direction, and clarity into momentum.

I work quietly with people who are shaping what’s next — not by shouting louder, but by thinking deeper.
Not to follow trends, but to build systems that outlast them.

Strategy, for me, isn’t a service.
It’s a pulse.

Not another consultant. 
A partner in consequence.

If you’re tired of advice with no clarity — let’s talk.

It’s time to move from noise to signal.

Head of EFTPOS service department

I love to tackle clients' problems, learn what I don't know, and share what I do know. Through my professional career, I've learned the most that you will only grow if You enable Your colleagues to grow even more with you. If You achieve that, then your clients or your products will prosper in the same way, by growing unmeasurable.

Working on a variety of different scaled projects, the ones that will never perish from my memory are the ones where the growth of the people became the biggest result. There will always be mistakes but no one managed to overcome everything alone and if You do not make mistakes you can't grow.

When I changed companies a little over a year ago, my biggest fear was, will I make it? A lot of things have changed, entirely different industries, and entirely different technologies, how will I contribute to the team due to lack of experience, since I was over 13 years in the same company where I learned a lot but in technology that was familiar to me, where I built myself from scratch, what I forgot to think is that I will not be alone in this.... I have learned so much with the help of others and like to think that I have helped others at least in the same way. Many miles to go though, can't wait

That is why, here at https://init.hr, we are proud to say that we consider people our number one priority.
