I empower companies to scale, grow, and perform better. I collaborate with boards and business leaders to enhance performance by unlocking potential through pragmatic and practical advice. I help businesses turn ideas into executable strategies and enable good decision-making that delivers results. I have learned that there are no secrets to success, but there are best practices relevant and scalable to businesses of all sizes.From a corporate career with global technology companies and as a Non-Executive Director (NED), consultant, start-up advisor, and mentor, I have the knowledge to enable businesses of all sizes to expand, become more profitable, and operate more efficiently. Globally well-networked, having worked (and lived) around the world, I have deep international business experience and strategic growth knowledge gained from working with business and sales leaders in over 56 countries. I have headed a 22-country global sales team, led global strategy, grown large P&Ls, redesigned Nokia's Cloud SaaS business pre-sales, and delivered critical growth, turnaround and acquisition (M&A) integration programs worldwide for Nokia's €21b business.I bring organisations extensive strategic growth knowledge combined with a personal style proven to build trust inside and outside the boardroom. Through the power of "good questions", I help simplify complexity and facilitate strategic decision-making. For the leaders I mentor, I use my experience and good listening skills to help them solve problems, test ideas and structure their thinking to overcome barriers to their success. I like to work with interesting people to solve interesting problems, and if you would like a new angle on your business issues or boardroom challenges, we should talk.
