ABOUT YOURS
TRULY
Based in Hong-Kong, I work for advisory firm Brunswick and I help my clients reach stakeholders and drive business results.
Despite the rise of social platforms and distributed-everything, I’m a firm believer in having a little corner of the web that’s still just mine, and have been maintaining this site since 1999, through a number of iterations (15, to be precise).

STUFF I BUY
BRANDS I LOVE AND BELIEVE IN
A list of brands, big or small, that either supply grat products and services or have values that I identify with. Hopefully there’s some consistency and commonality between those, but as living, breathing things, I also accept that this could evolve.
I also have a list of brands I utterly despise and will never buy (not all are car brands, I promise) – but that probably has limited value so I’ve decided not to list them.
