Providing a bridge between Business, Marketing and R&D. A proven track record of delivering disruptive innovation strategies, ensuring they are business relevant, actionable and commercially impactful. Through 20 years in corporate innovation and strategy roles I developed a reputation for creating and delivering innovative project portfolios, and developing and leading high performance teams.People tell me I am a strategic thinker and great at simplifying complicated concepts and subjects for all to understand, and that this is fantastic for informing strategy in areas beyond core categories.Experienced in and actively use many strategic and innovation tools, e.g. Trend Analysis, Scenario Planning, Design Thinking, Human Centred Design, TRIZ etc. I have a strong belief that high performance teams are the key to success and my style is to foster this by co-creating ownership of direction, providing space for people to perform, and catching them if they fall. In trusting people to own and deliver they usually raise the bar.Friendly, collaborative and open by nature, I seek to bring out the best in everyone to achieve team and individual success.
