About me

Gender Male
Occupation Company Director
Location Kew Gardens (London), England, United Kingdom
Introduction A self-motivated and achievement orientated individual with excellent business development and interpersonal skills. A proven record of strategic and tactical direction from initial concept through to profitability based on strong commercial awareness and technical expertise.

I have been involved in starting between 10 and 20 companies. One never made it to launch; the rest are either still going or have been bought and merged into other companies. Generally around one in ten companies survive so clearly a bit of strategic planning can make a difference.

The thing that makes me stand up and take notice is when someone says something is impossible. Many things I have done have been declared impossible beforehand, but usually all it takes is a different way of looking at the problem.

More career details can be found on LinkedIn or one of the sites linked off Naymz.

A list of my watchwords, in no particular order could be:
Integrity, Courage, Judgement, Experience, Endurance, Intelligence, Independence and Compassion
Interests Education, non-exec roles, company law, directorships, start-up companies, Technology, Retail Media, Problem Solving, Charities, Books, Conjuring, Process and innovation, Climbing, Management Styles, Martial Arts, Writing, Justice and The Law, Cooking, Aristology, Games and Puzzles.

Why don't I mention my CV at rufus.evison.com? And how do I get rid of the oscilating sonata junk that blogger.com keeps attaching to this profile?
