Join +2k daily readers and infrastructure fans

Life is easier when you have a former CEO in your ear.

I write a daily newsletter about:

  • Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)

  • infrastructure deals

  • real estate

  • power dynamics

  • money

  • negotiation

  • and how decisions really get made

No theory.
No academia.
No corporate bullshit.

 

Why should you read this?

You shouldn’t.

Unless you want to:

  • understand why most PPPs fail before they’re signed

  • see how serious players price risk, not talk about it

  • learn how deals are won when the tender documents are vague

  • stop confusing “process” with “strategy”

This is not motivational.
It’s operational clarity.

 

I don’t educate. I provoke.

Because clarity comes from friction.

Sometimes you’ll agree.
Sometimes you won’t.
That’s fine.

If my emails don’t make you pause for 30 seconds and think “fuck… that’s uncomfortable but true”… then I’ve failed.

 

What you’ll get

  • One email a day

  • Short. Direct. Readable in 3 minutes

  • Written by a former CEO / bid director / board member

  • Focused on money, risk, power, and execution

No ads.
No sponsors.
No SEO-optimised nonsense.

Just ideas worth stealing.

 

One last thing

If you’re looking for:

  • consensus

  • politeness

  • safe opinions

Please don’t subscribe.
