About Me

Born in the North West of England, I relocated to Singapore in 2016 bringing with him extensive experience in investment and wholesale financial law and regulation including roles at Merrill Lynch, Bank of America, SMBC and Standard Chartered. He was ordained in the Soto Zen tradition having lived for five years in Japan and completed a Master’s degree in Advanced Japanese.

I set up Kokoro Business Performance, combining almost 30 years of Zen and other techniques with a deep understanding of the corporate world, executive coaching and consultancy. He currently offers online and in-person speaking engagements and seminar programmes. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, Kokoro is also building online AI driven tools for large businesses aimed at providing techniques to prevent burnout in leaders and employees by discovering what really matters whilst developing resilience and an innovative mindset.
