Recognizing the latter's potential, he led the company to go public as CEO in 2016. Under his guidance, the company raised over $75 million in funding and achieved an impressive annual revenue growth rate of USD 20 million in less than four years. In 2018, he took on the role of President while maintaining his position as Managing Director, showcasing his dedication to the company's growth.

His entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found Zwype, a hospitality platform, which later merged into a prominent Australian/US technology group. His contributions have been recognized in the tech and sports sectors, and he is equally committed to giving back to the community. He has actively supported several charitable organizations throughout his career, such as the Royal Children's Hospital, Heart Foundation, The Reach Foundation, and Meals on Wheels.

Always keen on exploring new frontiers, he quickly ventured into digital assets, focusing on solving problems in digital asset infrastructure and consumer applications. He advises numerous entrepreneurs across the digital asset and broader technology sectors while actively allocating capital to promising early-stage ventures through his family office.
