My Journey
After a 20-year career in industry and sport, I became, what I call ‘a business catalyst’ in 1999, offering consultancy, facilitation, coaching and mentoring. My aim being to rapidly help people develop their performance and reach new levels of achievement.
In industry, I have worked with a wide range of organisations from HM Passport Services, Experian, Assi Domain, Hess, Mitsubishi, and Dropbox to a range of rapid growth SME’s. In sport I have worked at elite level in athletics and swimming, while in Motorsport I have worked in Formula 1 and other senior categories including endurance racing and Le Mans.
Today I help clients and their organisations to improve business performance through leadership programmes, facilitation and coaching. By the bespoke nature of how I work and the breadth of experience I have gained in a dynamic career I have enjoyed supporting my clients through a range of challenges including rapid growth, mergers and acquisition and re-organisation programmes.
As an executive coach, I work with from manager to CEO level in both corporate and not-for-profit organisations. My main areas of focus are: leadership, performance improvement, career transition, rapid change, planning & delivery.
Blending business pragmatism with an ability to quickly assess, analyse and develop strategies, I offer a coaching style that is stimulating and impactful. Having lived and worked in Europe, USA, South East Asia & Australia; and in a variety of sectors including Healthcare, Motorsport, Electronics, MoD, Utilities, Energy & Food Packaging sectors, including Oxford Instruments, Goodyear, NTG, Airtech, United Utilities, and Metal Box I have a good appreciation of diversity and cultural integration.
I maintain a keen interest in leadership, human performance, talent development, successful change, managing risk and conflict, and speak on these subjects at conferences in UK, Europe, India, Asia and USA.
