About Me
My name is Luke Hammond, and it's nice to meet you.
If there is one thing in life that is true,
It's that we choose to do business with people we like.
So, for that to happen, you need to know a little about me,
and know that i'm no axe wielding psycho
(but I am a recovering Yacht Captain).
​
Life is way too short to work with people we don't like, so if you like the idea of working with an Australian, based in FL, that's spent 20+ years floating around the globe on Luxury Super Yachts, loves hockey, snowboarding, and is fanatical about business...
Then We Should Chat!

My Story
Originally from Australia, married to a Swede and living in FL with our two girls, I found that spending months away at sea wasn't really for me anymore. I wanted to be home for my kids.... (and my wife of course).
Having worked on yachts, we wear every hat imaginable. I realised that I could double down my focus and bring my 20+ years of luxury hospitality operations to the business world.
'Scaling and helping people Exit their business' became my purpose, my new goal.
Your next question is probably, Where is your experience and track record Luke?
​
In my decades at sea, Solving Problems became my Super Power, but I also gained a network of over 2000+ business professionals that have 'been there and done that'. Yachting is very much built around connections and network, and if you let your mind wander, I met a few people in my time.
Business, (whilst financially focused), is more built around rapport than money. Money is important, but if we don't like who we are working or dealing with..... Ladies and Gents,... there is no deal!

So, what next?
