The biggest opportunities aren’t created inside siloed industries.
They’re created where people, ideas, and industries intersect – often at the edges, before the rest of the world sees what’s coming.
For nearly two decades, that’s been my work. Largely unpaid, lol, but driven by one part chip on my shoulder and one part mission: to show ourselves – and the world – that Caribbean entrepreneurship, innovation, and excellence are real, growing, and increasingly impossible to ignore.
Long before “ecosystems” became sexy, I was bringing together founders, investors, creators, executives, governments, and innovators across the Caribbean and its global diaspora – creating and amplifying those intersections.
Through SiliconCaribe and Kingston BETA, I’ve produced 380+ technology and innovation events impacting 35+ countries and cities, connected more than 150,000 people to information, ideas, and opportunities, and helped facilitate access to more than US$10M in capital.
Along the way, that work has helped shape conversations around entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, digital culture, and the future of the Caribbean, and shifted culture and strategy.
Now the work is evolving. I am very grateful that my name has become synonymous with Caribbean tech. It’s time now to add a serious commercial layer to it and also expand.
My new company, GridNet Group builds media, events, intelligence, communities and platforms at the intersection of technology, culture and wellness. Some we’ll build ourselves. Others we’ll invest in and acquire alongside founders, partners and investors.
For 19 years, we’ve helped shape Caribbean tech – producing 380+ events across 35+ countries, connecting 150,000+ people, and helping connect more than US$10M in capital. Now we’re bringing that same network, credibility, and Caribbean lens to culture and wellness – creating businesses that start here, are shaped by Caribbean minds, and matter everywhere.
That’s the thinking behind GridNet (which will of course include SiliconCaribe, Kingston BETA, and Caribbean Tech Week)
I’m particularly interested in what happens next at the intersection of:
• Technology, entrepreneurship & AI
• Culture & the creator economy
• Cities, destinations & digital nomadism
• Wellness, longevity & the future of living
• The Caribbean & its global diaspora
• Community as competitive advantage
My mission is simple:
Bring remarkable people together before everyone else realises they should know each other. Because the future isn’t found. It’s built at the intersections – where the right people, ideas, industries, and opportunities collide.
