I am a C-suite leader with a track record of building businesses from market insights and leading them successfully to profitable delivery. Prior to my current role, I was CEO of a division of a global professional services firm which I designed and scaled from scratch. The division has a client base of global blue-chip enterprises and over 850 colleagues on three continents. I like to achieve ‘firsts’ in what I do and create value for my stakeholders. This could be a breakthrough in a new proposition, something that moves the dial in the market or something that I do for the first time myself. I have not only technical and strategic acumen but also considerable experience in bringing strategy into action and successful commercial execution. I can be hands-on when required. I am methodological in my approach and will always seek to understand the issues through data, views of others and my expertise and diagnostic toolkits to allow me to be decisive in complex situations. My core skills include an intense interest in designing customer journeys and understanding how properly trained and motivated teams using leading-edge technology can achieve market leadership through them and disrupt the competition.  In all my roles, I have brought strategy, innovation, an instinct for the delivery of change and the drive to ensure continual performance improvement. I have confidence in my ability and am at ease dealing with where people, technology, process, change and culture come together. I have found that building strong and lasting relationships and trust with stakeholders through direct engagement and finding solutions to problems is more important to being successful than specific sector knowledge. I have always been curious about disruptive strategies based on current, emerging, and possible customer needs. I read extensively in this area. My career to date demonstrates that I am a tenacious strategist and change agent who brmrings to bear what was learned in one industry to the benefit of companies in others through challenging and thinking outside accepted norms. I have built and led diverse teams of high-performing individuals, which have been typified by successfully collaborating to deliver positive outcomes at pace, including rapid and sustainable growth, turnaround and purpose-driven, value accretive transformational change. Behind these words is a curious, driven and enthusiastic individual who is restless to make things better and who never stops learning. “Curiosity is the engine of achievement.” Ken Robinson
