An energetic & experienced company director, chair, digital non-exec & consultant with a proven track record of creating rapid growth & profit in digital, technology & professional services businesses. I get start-ups & their need to have a responsive, flexible & committed leadership team, who also have a sense of humour. I also believe you need to underpin this with sound strategic business thinking & just enough process to drive success & growth. Timing & execution are, as always, key.After a successful corporate career of 20 years (starting as an Engineer and concluded on European board of IBM/Lotus), I chose to focus on tech. start-ups & turnarounds for a decade, I then started combining my full-time exec. with non-exec. directorship work, while still running my own consultancy. Following another successful exit; the last 10 years have been purely focused on non-exec work & my consultancy, with board positions in the UK, USA, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria & Germany plus 4 very successful exits in the last 5 years. Recent consultancy work includes managing a highly complex global restructuring, working closely with one of the “Big 4” consultancies & a leading international law firm, as well as driving the pivot strategy of a US tech. start-up.
Listed skills include Start Ups, Strategy, Management, E Commerce, and 46 others.
