Adios 2010’s the decade where I pivoted my lifetime Retail career and welcomed the world of #Blockchain technology
In 2011 I published The Retail Handbook First edition (in shocking pink!) and the second edition was published in 2018 – but by then I had already “got the Blockchain bug” and added my first thought leadership to the second edition of the book
My Retail experience is from being Born into a retailing family, which started with a high street shop in south England from 1923, and I worked in the local village newsagent from the age of 15, went on to the local Sainsbury’s and studied retail management whilst working 40 hours a week at the Sainsbury’s near university
In 2016, whilst consulting for retailers, I started to investigate Bitcoin and soon found the technology underlying Bitcoin. This Blockchain technology or Distributed ledger technology was life changing.
I believe that all retailers, business, governments and citizens will benefit from this powerful new technology
This led me to change my career and work for global technology companies, to understand this technology and to be able to advise business and government on how to use this new technology
I wrote “Commercializing Blockchain: Strategic applications in the real world” to educate governments and business on this revolutionary new technology, which will drive trust and transparency in all we do
In 2019, I launched the book in some amazing locations supported by amazing people:
- in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
- on a stunning white beach in Clearwater, Florida
- at the US senate
- at the postal museum in London
- and finally on a beautiful golf course in Miami
The end of the 2010’s has been hard, but immensely satisfying
I am starting 2020 with a global blockchain network of some of the worlds best and brightest – and most driven people I have ever met
Here’s to a new decade and the future world built on blockchain technology – The future is here so let’s take the blockchain bull by the horns
Bienvenido 2020’s – #TheBlockchainDecade
