Tom Butler

Tom is a system change entrepreneur who left a successful venture capital career to explore how to  balance profit with people and planet. 

Since leaving the security of a burgeoning career in venture capital over two decades ago, he has developed system change methods for personal, organisation and global development while testing their viability in a wide range of areas. These  include  organic and biodynamic food production on a  smallholding, opening an organic vegetarian restaurant in London, natural building techniques and community design, SRI and ethical asset management,  hospitality, and personal development using open systems and big picture thinking approaches. His involvement in raising four children made the process much more real!

His books Common Sense (2014) and How to get Rich and Famous (2017) outline the global systems in which we operate, why they need to change, and how to begin making that change.

Prior to changing course Tom managed venture capital investments in SMEs.  He has a BSc in finance from Wharton and an MBA from IMD.
