I have a curiosity and passion for understanding what makes successful businesses grow. After 30 years spent running businesses, I recognise that even the best leaders frequently get stuck and need a guiding voice to continue growing.- How do we deal with an abundance of talent management issues?- How to develop marketing strategies that deliver both sales and margin growth?- How to fund growing working capital and investment needs?- How to develop the right organisational structure?- Admin, IT, HR, legal compliance issues?- How to plan for the latest challenges in a post COVID world?The list goes on and a sense of lack of the right support and of loneliness at the top can develop.As CEO of an international consultancy, I grew the company from £4m to £20m. It wasn't always fun, as the scars on my back testify and many lessons were learnt that I carry into my role as Vistage Chair.I'm now known for helping leaders make better decisions that make a real difference to their lives and their families.
