Thanks for the note. Great to hear from you. We had a wonderful vacation. No snow yet but they are calling for it on Friday. Still trying to sell the house and finish the other. I read Richard’s blog which was very entertaining! It is so fun to live vicariously through your adventure.
Well done! I enjoyed the blog – it brought back lots of memories of my own epic on the GR5 in 1992.
Planning on doing the GR52A in Provence this year – getting a bit old for the Big Ones in the real Alps! Should cross the GR5 at St Sauveur sur Tinee – nice town.
Enjoy your walks!

I founded 10Adventures to make it easy for regular people to plan their next adventure. We have built a community based on free, guidebook quality route guides and added a marketplace so you can book a tour directly with a local tour operator in over 40 countries.
I was elected to the Board of Directors of the ACC with a mandate to support the clubs efforts on Governance.
I was part of the team that grew this consulting company from 18 to over 425 people. Over my time there I added new lines of business, managed cost and schedule on projects up to $500 million and eventually became the COO. While I was the COO, Vista was named as one of Canada’s Best Managed companies while also being named one of Canada’s 50 Best employers for 5 straight years.
uSwitch.com is an innovative home services marketplace. I joined the team pre-product and quickly took over managing the development and launch of the core marketplaces, which eventually accounted for over 95% of total revneue. uSwitch sold in 2006 for $366 million.
I attended the innovative Program for Leadership Development (PLD) at HBS. PLD is Harvard’s answer to the EMBA, and has been designed with on and off-campus learning, and to fit into a busy executives schedule. In addition to PLD, I continued my education with electives focused on Governance, Strategy and Leadership.
I graduated from London Business School in 2010, with an M.Sc in Strategy and Leadership. I was also a Sloan Fellow, part of a program that is offered at LBS, MIT and Stanford. While at LBS, my studies focused on how to facilitate company growth, with a particular emphasis on Strategy and HR. I also attended an exchange at Columbia University in NYC, where I studied globalization under Nobel Prize winner Joe Stiglitz. My thesis was on Growth Strategies for Professional Services Firms, and I was supervised by Strategy Professor Jessica Spungin, a former parter at McKinsey & Co.
How are the feet? If it makes you feel any better, it is day 4 of the stampede and my feet are in agony from cowboy boots.
Hope you guys are doing well. I look forward to all of your updates – they are just terrific.
Be safe… you’re almost there!
