I first met Tom at Oxford and then worked with him for 4 years as a business partner. Tom is highly intelligent, creative and personable. He is an excellent entrepreneur who is committed to making a positive contribution to the world.

Tom was a fantastic boss to have during my internship at Bright Green Talent. Passionate and pragmatic, Tom was a great inspiration as a sociaI entrepreneur focused on creating a vibrant recruitment business for green professionals. I enjoyed my time working for Tom and his team immensely, and the experience has opened many doors and opportunities in my youing career. Tom also introduced my to the joys of 'gun powder green tea', which i suspect will become a life long indulgence.

      I assembled a 14-person team ex-Google/Facebook/Twitter engineers to build a people search engine (codename Whoogle). As CEO I raised over $6.5m from some of the worlds best investors and then ended up failing to hit an inflection point... and giving most of the money back.
