About
A Buddhist in Business
I work at the intersection of meditation, business, creativity and service. My path has been shaped by decades in Buddhist practice, but the work I offer is practical: helping people build with a steadier mind, lead with more awareness, and create businesses that genuinely help others.
Where I started
Not leaving ambition behind. Grounding it.
I trained as a Chartered Accountant with EY in Melbourne, then studied and worked across Shanghai, London, Hong Kong and Taipei. That work taught me systems, discipline, and what actually holds an organisation together.
For a long time, it looked like I had to choose between the contemplative path and the business world. What became clear is that my real work is at the intersection of both. Not leaving ambition behind, but grounding it. Not rejecting business, but asking more of it.
I'm most alive where meditation, marketing, creativity, events and Dharma values meet.
What it means
Do business that helps someone every day.
That is the through-line underneath all of my work. In Buddhist terms, it reflects a life of awareness, care and wise action. In business terms, it means building products, services and teams that leave people better off than before.
Being a Buddhist in business does not mean bringing religious doctrine into the workplace. It means bringing steadiness, integrity, compassion, focused attention and perspective into the way we build, lead and serve.
The principles behind the work
Goodwill
How we lead people without contempt.
Compassionate accountability
How we hold standards and care at the same time.
Appreciative recognition
How we build teams without envy or scarcity.
Steadiness under pressure
How we respond wisely when outcomes are uncertain.
Focused attention
How we work deeply in a distracted world.
Integrity
How we make decisions we can stand behind.
Practice and credentials
Decades of practice, taught plainly.
I'm a third-generation Tibetan Buddhist and a certified Anytime Anywhere Meditation teacher, with decades immersed in Buddhist practice. I'm also training as a singing-bowl facilitator.
My work spans meditation teaching, retreats, speaking, community building, and creative support for other teachers through Mettafi.
Alongside this work I invest in early-stage startups and small businesses, and I've spent years in fundraising and community roles for Buddhist groups across Australia and Asia. You can read about that side of things on the investing page.
An invitation
If any part of you knows the mind beneath your work needs as much care as the work itself, you are in the right place.
