Callum

Would love to bounce around some ideas - I’ve got a few of my own, and I’m always keen to hear new perspectives. I’m UK-based, and my background’s been pretty varied.

I started out in music - ran two management agencies and a California-based label before selling them in a stock deal to a larger firm. Ended up on their board as Chairman, which opened the door to some interesting roles: VP of HR at a multimillion-dollar EV startup, and COO of an investment consultancy with a face value north of $200m (though it later folded for reasons outside my control).

Since then, I’ve launched a cloud tech company with a 120,000sqft data centre, consulted for two social platforms with a combined user base of over 20,000, and now co-run two AI startups while co-hosting an annual machine learning conference. I also saved a medical school over five weeks of full-time work per year using automation - took about a month.

Currently in the process of joining a multi-academy trust as a trustee, and I mentor at Unifirm, a Malaysian startup incubator.

I’m looking to expand my footprint in AI and emerging tech, and I’m actively seeking a credible, passionate business partner. We could sit down, run through a few concepts, pick the strongest one, and build something meaningful together.

I wouldn’t call myself a technical founder, but I’ve got a solid grasp of tech from years in the software space. I don’t code, but LinkedIn’s ranked me in the top 30% for React.js, Power BI and GCP; top 15% for Hadoop, Visio, AWS, Spring Framework and machine learning; and top 5% for Git, MongoDB, .NET, CSS, XML, HTML, MySQL, Linux and PHP. I’ve also been licensed in around 10 programming languages.
