As I alluded to in my last update, change was on the horizon and following a super successful tenure at MELD I have now moved my attention to other projects for my day to day activities.

Taking an advisory role at the exciting SSI project, IAMX , was an obvious progression in my crypto career. The technology and the tokenomics of this project are astounding, and I was delighted to accept their offer to work closely as an advisor to the management team to advise and assist with the roll out of the project.

IAMX aside, I have also taken a role at Damex (damex.io) again advising and assisting with business strategy and market positioning. Damex are a progressive digital asset management company based in Gibraltar, launching a new app and token.

This week I travel, heading into France by car via the ferry. Various meetings with partners and clients are lined up for what promises to be a busy week!

Having had the opportunity to decide on the direction of my work commitments, I now have a clarity and vision that often eludes when committed to a single project. Managing my time is going to be critical over the coming months.

Right now I have several formulative roles, including the above that are now stepping into full flow. These other projects include sectors such as property rental, micro lending, NFT’s, credit reporting and trade finance.

For those that know me personally, I’m an organised and disciplined worker, always ready to put in the hours as needed. These attributes are going to be the key to the successful year that I foresee 2022 to be.

More soon!

I hear from my friends, acquaintances and colleagues in the UK that autumn has definitely arrived now, and the evenings draw in and the temperature drops. Here in Malta its not quite the same, however, after a few thunderstorms and an earthquake in the last few weeks, and the fact that tourist numbers have definitely declined, it does seem as though summer is over, despite the fact that the average daily temperature is still between 27 and 30 degrees, and even overnight it doesn’t drop below 22 degrees.

From a business perspective, the summer ‘vacation’ mode has definitely left though, it has been a very busy time on many fronts.

Cloud RPO has launched, and the general feedback from prospective clients is very positive. The project continues to excite me and developments around new territories over the last couple of weeks add to my enthusiasm. Next week I have several important online meetings for this project and I hope to start seeing the fruits of my labour in due course.

Another project I’m working hard on took a major step in the last few days, with the angel investment round being closed successfully we can now embark on the exciting stage of building the business model and the ongoing business development plan. Working in conjunction with KPMG on this is something that I’m looking forward to enormously. I’ll be writing more about this project, which is called Okto, in the coming days, and there will be more details about it on my ‘Current Projects‘ page.

The next few days is also an exciting time for my wife’s business, alenacollinson.com which embarks on some rebranding tweaks, new focus on the website and some entirely new content being formulated.

Finally, for this update, as if the above were not enough, I spent 10 days in the company of my good friend and UK artist Graeme Evelyn. Another yet to be announced venture is in the final planning stages, and Graeme was instrumental in shaping some ideas and gathering an action plan. This business, named ‘Alnistar’ will also appear on the ‘Current Projects‘ page in due course, but brings a new take on art for the commercial world.

October is a month set to be busy, and I’m sure that it will pass all too quickly and be a very positive month!

This is the first full entry I’ve posted on here, and I have deliberately waited to do this until I had significant update to post about.

Since arriving in Malta, I have started a variety of new projects the outline of which are detailed elsewhere on this site, these projects are spread across a diverse range of business sectors.

However, this week has seen a sharp upturn in activity in several ways, notably one of the projects I have been working on is finally seeing the light of day, after some months in planning and development…

Cloud RPO Malta Ltd is a revolutionary ecosystem that organises, rationalises and standardises employers dealings with recruiters. The proprietary technology is human-free, completely transparent and enables an employer to simply search for or request the talent required.
This has the effect of reducing the time to hire, whilst giving the employer complete control over the cost and process. My role in this new venture is to work within the team on an operational, management and oversight role, specifically focused on Cloud RPO Malta Ltd, and to look after the Maltese marketplace.
Cloud RPO Malta is looking to connect with businesses in Malta to introduce them to the system, explain the benefits and expand the companies’ international footprint.
More information is available on the website here: https://malta.cloudrpo.com

Progress has also been made in other businesses, with the long awaited rebranding for my wife’s business, Alena Collinson – Psychologist being one such, the development of connections for Eco-Donut, the electric boat company, plus a variety of other projects not yet detailed on the site due to confidentiality etc.

Malta seems to be a great place to do business, the welcoming nature of the business community, the speed of connections to the appropriate people and the diversity across what is in reality a very small country makes a fertile pasture to plough and furrow.

Happy to be here, and happy to notch up the first project as live!
