About Me
Hi, I'm Trevor. I'm also an entrepreneur, writer, Agilism advocate, and longevity innovator.
A Lifetime of Movement and Insight
For over three decades, I've embraced change, fostered innovation, and empowered others to thrive in the face of uncertainty. Living in 12 countries and working with international teams across another 40 has provided me with a global perspective and a deep appreciation of our rapidly changing, complex global environment.
Each culture, each market, and each transition has shaped my worldview–and taught me how to adapt, innovate, and thrive.
Career Highlights
My professional evolution has been a mosaic of experiences, all tied to driving impactful, global change. Early in my career, I held senior roles in telecommunications, working with leading organizations such as Nortel Networks and Atos.
Then, for two decades, I ran International Transport Innovations, a venture consulting practice specializing in the airport and transportation industry. During this time, I successfully raised over $60 million for airport ventures, generating combined revenues exceeding $300 million and transforming the airport passenger experience on a global scale.
A Pivotal Turning Point
In 2022, I stepped away from the hectic globetrotting to focus on building a portfolio of ventures aligned with what truly mattered to me—longevity, adaptability, and meaningful impact in today’s unpredictable and nonlinear world.
This shift wasn’t just a professional pivot; it was deeply personal. Years earlier, a near-death experience in Iceland forced me to grapple with the uncertainty of life. That moment became a lasting reminder of the power of resilience, adaptability, and thoughtful decision-making—not only for survival but for thriving amid unpredictability.
The COVID-19 pandemic further reinforced these lessons as the world collectively experienced an unprecedented level of change. Watching the disruption unfold, I gained clarity about a fundamental truth: the traditional, linear life path of education, career, and retirement is no longer sufficient in navigating today’s complexities.
This realization became the foundation for rethinking how individuals and businesses can adapt, evolve, and prosper in a world defined by uncertainty.
The traditional, linear life path of education, career, and retirement is no longer sufficient in navigating today’s complexities.
In every aspect of life, understanding how to thrive in uncertainty starts with building the right mindset - and that starts with throwing away pretty much everything we learned about change.
The Dynamics of Change, Transition, and Reinvention
This personal journey led me to ponder a fundamental question: Why do some people thrive amidst change while others struggle? That question sparked years of exploration into the mindsets and strategies that enable individuals and organizations to adapt, grow, and thrive in a world that never stops changing.
The answer? Agilism–a revolutionary framework rooted in 21 Principles. Agilism isn't just a concept; it's a mindset tailored for those who choose to defy limits, stay active, and craft a life filled with purpose and impact, no matter their age and no matter what curveballs life throws their way.
Agilism is a revolutionary framework rooted in 21 Principles.
Today, I write and speak about Agilism–a transformative, principles-based framework for thriving in a nonlinear life. You can read more about the 4 topics I write about here.
Other Things In My Portfolio
In addition to writing and speaking about Agilism, I am actively involved in a number of other ventures that align with my passions:
Midlennial Ventures
As Founder and CEO, I lead this holding company dedicated to transforming the longevity economy. Through innovative media, learning, and technology platforms, we empower individuals over 45 to live longer, healthier, and more purposeful lives.
The Interlude Café
Our flagship venture at Midlennial Ventures is a media and education platform for the growing cohort of 'Midlennials' who are redefining midlife by refusing to follow the traditional linear life narrative. The platform provides resources, insights, and community for those navigating the opportunities and challenges of a longer, nonlinear life.
Advisory Roles
I also carve out some time to support high-growth longevity companies as an advisor or non-exec. This work not only allows me to stay at the forefront of this rapidly evolving industry but also serves as a way to give back by sharing my global experience in strategy, investment, and market expansion.
Other Creative Projects
Beyond the professional realm, I'm working on my forthcoming books, "Agilism: 21 Principles for the Nonlinear Life" and "The New Midlife:Rethinking Change and Transitions in the Nonlinear Age.' I'm also a judge at the Business Book Awards.
