He has gone on to sell over 64,000 copies across three <i>What's Stopping You?</i> titles.<br />Robert Kelsey is CEO of Moorgate Communications, a financial PR agency, and was previously CEO of Metrocube, a start-up incubator located in London's fashionable "City-fringes". He trained as a financial journalist before becoming an investment banker and a now an entrepreneur, running his successful PR agency.<br />Yet Kelsey remains and perennial outsider.
