20 years young

20 years as an entrepreneur is quite a journey. A privileged life that I must say that I am totally grateful for and a road that has grown me in ways that I could never imagine. The first company I started in 1994, as a young 28 year old graduate with some corporate experience, Uwin Iwin Incentives is still my core business. The consistent focus, passion and perseverance has produced so much value for me personally beyond just the bank balance and value for many people, customer businesses and partners along the way. It's now a 20 year old business, with lots of stories to tell and many more to look forward to. I feel like we just starting to produce the real high quality and valued fruit that will multiplying in exceptional ways.

I hope that this blog will become a space where I share some of the great stories that as I pen them will remind me of the lessons learned. It will be as space that I can creatively think about the future and impact the people who read this in a positive way. A place where industry leaders will engage with me to design the future of our niche industry and collaborate to impact an ever bigger realm.

I'm learning so much more now than I have in the past 10 years about the power of the digital age, its tools and strengths. The opportunities it presents and the tremendous reach that it can have.

In 1999 I started experimenting with the power of internet technology and designed one of the very first systems to digitize the incentive industry. Many followed and great innovation and competition drove the growth of the online incentive and loyalty service providers. Today we still breaking new ground and delivering commercial value for customers and participants.

Digital leadership is in its teenage years where the energy and creative power is explosively fast. I look forward to every new day with optimism and enthusiasm.

Keep Winning
