He then set up an IT reselling business that specialised in Network Security, which saw him introduce a phenomenally successful internet security product range into Europe, supplying to several million end users. 2003 saw Neil co-found Email Systems Limited with Jim Page – a business they grew to have offices in the UK, Sweden, Holland and Australia before selling to Webroot Inc in 2007. Neil was then VP of EMEA for Webroot Inc until 2009, responsible for growth in that region as well as assisting in the continued development of the ‘SaaS’ security services. 2009 saw the birth of Natterbox, based on a vision to revolutionise voice communications…

Life

A passion for daredevil pursuits including hang-gliding, micro lighting and paragliding is matched with Neil’s love of skiing, running, cycling and rowing.
