John Davies studied Astrophysics at UCL in the early 80s and went straight into IT in London's investment banking world. John spent some 10 years living abroad, in Europe, the US and the Far East and learnt to speak 3 more languages in the process. After returning back to England in 98 with his new French wife they settled in West London (for now) and had 3 boys, now 7, 9 and 11.

In 2000 John started his 3rd company in investment banking integration technologies and eventually sold it a NASDAQ company in 2007 where remained technical director for a while. In 2008 John started a new incubator company which has since spun off two new companies, one in iPhone/iPad applications and the other in high-performance enterprise computing.

After the most recent company acquisition John has had more time to invest in charity work, working for a short while with schools in West Africa and most recently with Mowgli in Syria, John travels a lot for business, is a keen photographer and just wished it paid as much as IT consultancy does.
