About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a Shareaholic, social entrepreneur and Founder of The People Who Share and Global Sharing Week. I'm currently working on a book and photography project with friend and photographer Sophie Sheinwald called Generation Share to tell the inspiring stories of people around the world who are creating a Sharing Economy.
