People love advertising in particular but they hate advertising in general.

I've never felt any particular desire to be married.

If I ran the world, I would find a way to bring the wealth of human good intentions and corporate good intentions together - to activate them collectively into shared action against shared objectives that produces shared hard, tangible results.

I design my start-up ventures around my own personal beliefs and values.

My background is advertising: I moved to New York from London in 1998 to start up the U.S. office of ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty.
