He taught Statistics at the University of London; headed his own Research and Development company in the field of Molecular-Engineering; formed two venture capital firms; coined the word "DATAMATION", and with it in 1957, the first magazine devoted to the computer industry; was a senior officer and member of the management committee of two large California Banks (Union Bank and Imperial Bank); served as President of Imperial International Bank; and over the past fifty-five years has made numerous contributions to the field of Futurology.

His extensive collections of books and other material by and about these two men are now housed in the Special Collections of two Universities:
