Garry Pratt is an entrepreneur, group walking leader, reluctant academic of sorts and a recovering archaeologist. He has worked at the University of Bath in the UK as Entrepreneur in Residence and as a Teaching Fellow in Entrepreneurship through which he has worked with the founders of over 180 early stage tech companies. Garry says that he likes helping interesting people grow interesting businesses. He wears outdoor gear, not suits. He is a compulsive doodler. He doesn’t do long meetings and believes that it is always better to walk and talk than look at a PowerPoint presentation. Although involved in high tech since the early 90’s he lives in the low tech historical city of Bath in SW England with his wife and three kids. Over the years, through trial and error, Garry found his thinking ‘space’ and continues to find inspiration outside, with the absolute appreciation that his desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world. This is why he invites entrepreneurs, innovators, business leaders and executive teams to ditch the boardroom and join him on adventures that might just change their thinking. It is time to do business differently. Take your thinking outdoors and start Outside Thinking. Background My 50’s: Author. Founder.
