The corporate bit:I have the privilege of being CEO of RSM UK – the 7th largest accounting organisation in the world and part of an international network spanning 120 counties. With guidance and support from our National Leadership Team I’m driving our vision to become the first-choice provider to the middle market. We want RSM in the UK to be famous for delivering high-quality products and services, and a premium experience for clients. We’re genuinely committed to building an inclusive culture where our people can create rewarding careers and where we become a magnet for the very best talent in the marketplace. I'm a mixture of being simultaneously proud, grateful and humbled to have been asked to do this job. I love my role and I take the responsibility it has brought seriously. I’m proud of our firm and the immense dedication, commitment and effort of all our current and former colleagues who have together built this business. I’m a firm believer in the need to constantly innovate and nurture our people to achieve all they can and attract new, ambitious talent to our business. For me, good leadership is about respect for other opinions and the courage to change direction when shown a better way. For 20 years I’ve worked with great people who have worked tirelessly to deliver a great result for our clients. I’ve worked with some fabulous entrepreneurs who through their talent, effort, charisma and sheer stubbornness (and occasionally a bit of luck) have built something special. All of them, the people I’ve worked with, the entrepreneurs I’ve served have taught me something. I’ve never stopped learning in this business, and I hope I never will.The combination of our people and our clients make every day an interesting journey. We'd love to talk to you about your business and how we might be able to help you take it forward.The personal bit:Outside of work, I like to play squash, walk the dog, escape into a good film, and cook – although I usually need a glass of wine to make that happen. On a good day, I might even go to the gym.
