Having applied coaching and mentoring techniques in support of my strategy consulting work for over 12 years, and seen the incredibly positive effects this had for my clients and their teams, towards the end of 2021 I shifted to focus more specifically on executive coaching and business mentoring.In support of this I have underpinned my years of practical experience with the ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching & Mentoring and am currently studying for a Masters Degree in Coaching for Behavioural Change at Henley Business School.I work with clients in leadership roles across a wide range of organisations, as well as ‘Rising Stars’ identified by their employers as heading towards senior leadership and board positions.Recent clients include:- Head of Creative at a specialist B2B marketing agency- Board Director at a fast growing marketing communications agency- Fundraising Director at a large UK charity- CEO of a niche financial services company- Owner of a specialist digital agency- Director at an environmental organisation I am a Fellow of the Association of Business Mentors and Member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, and follow the EMCC codes of practice and ethics.

Trees for Cities is the only UK charity working at a national and international scale to improve lives by planting trees in cities.

The United Nations World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian organisation saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity, for people recovering from conflict and disasters.I joined the Private Sector Partnerships & Fundraising Division in 2020 as a strategy consultant supporting the establishment and growth of its new digital-first global fundraising programme. Since then, the team has grown to over 100 staff world-wide and become recognised as a leader in global digital fundraising through both its Web and App-based activities.I retired from my consulting business at the end of 2021, but was retained by the WFP on a part time basis as an advisor and leadership coach to the Global Head of Supporter Engagement & Innovation and several members of their senior leadership team.

Strategic Consultancy for Non-profit and Social Good Organisations.After over 20 years in technology, marketing, and fundraising, including many years as an agency Strategy Director, towards the end of 2009 I launched my own consultancy - Strategy Refresh.The name reflected my overall aim – to apply my strategic planning experience to help non-profit and social good organisations world-wide take a fresh strategic approach to their activities, so they'd be better equipped to cope with all the complexities today’s world is going to throw at them. My work was founded on my belief that the most important strategic resource any organisation has is its own staff. This led me to adopt a hybrid approach, not only providing top quality strategic consultancy but also coaching and mentoring clients to help them drive forward strategy implementation – thereby maximising the strategic benefit to their organisations. I was particularly well known for helping organisations develop and evaluate integrated digital marketing, fundraising, campaigning, and beneficiary communications strategies. I also provided support with business planning; revenue forecasting; marketing performance evaluation; digital innovation/NPD; and organisational design.London-based, I worked with clients all around the world including: Barnardo's, Fundacja Akademia Organizacji Obywatelskich (Warsaw), Habitat for Humanity, International Committee of the Red Cross (Geneva), International Society of Nephrology (Brussels), Save The Children UK, Save The Children Italia, Shelter, Stroke Association, UNHCR Sweden, UNICEF (UK & Geneva), UNI Global Union (Geneva), UN World Food Programme (Rome), WaterAid, and World Vision Canada.After 12 fun and very successful years I closed my strategy consulting business in late 2021 to try my hand at being semi-retired, with my reduced work time primarily focused on executive coaching and mentoring.
