A former published neuroscientist with a Stanford MBA, Malcolm worked in the startup and venture capital world in Silicon Valley and South Korea before creating Collins Family Ventures, Travelmax's parent company. In his spare time, he writes. Together, he and his wife Simone recently published the Amazon bestseller, The Pragmatist’s Guide to Life.

Hailing from Silicon Valley with a Cambridge master's in Technology Policy, Simone specializes in managing widely-dispersed remote teams (having directed networks of 20K+ freelancers). To wind down, she writes, studies science and history, and works on The Pragmatist Foundation, a nonprofit she founded with her husband, Malcolm.
