Sebastian Nokes has written a number of successful books on personal finance, management and strategy including The Definitive Guide to Project Management, now in its second edition, Measuring and Controlling IT Costs and StartUp.Com: Everything You Need to Know About Starting Up an Internet Company. The author moved from a position of being financially illiterate and this illiteracy allowed him to be miss-sold a pension. Because of this he went on to take an MSc in Finance and then worked for a leading investment bank: he was shocked to discover just how much of an advantage the financially literate have. He is currently a Director of Aldersgate Partners, a management consulting firm.
