Impact Through Insight: Guiding Leaders, Shaping Performance

Beginning my career as a graduate trainee at Rolls-Royce, I’ve led transformative initiatives across the globe, taking senior leadership roles in multinational corporations like Experian, British Telecom, and DHL and executive roles in the New Zealand Government and British universities.
I have experienced the challenges of too many competing priorities, leading large, geographically dispersed teams, steering financial strategies, managing billion-dollar programs, and securing significant financing from global investors, but this has given me a deep understanding of organisational performance and success.
This deep fascination and passion are at the root of my shift to consultancy. I now dedicate myself to accelerating organisational performance across various sectors, helping as many leaders as possible unlock the potential and performance within their organisations by aligning their strategies with actionable results.
I use the experiences I’ve gained on my journey to steer leaders and CFOs through the tricky challenges facing organisations. Whether it’s managing too many priorities, reducing costs or speeding up execution, I help accelerate your organisation’s performance.
