For the past 25 years I've helped large companies in multiple sectors design and launch new customer value propositions - new products, services, experiences and businesses - and build in-house innovation capability to driver top line revenue growth. That's involved working with CXOs, leadership and cross functional teams to make the change happen. I've worked in different environments - global companies, start-ups, and scale-ups - to build the business, run strategy and transformation engagements, and help clients innovate to disrupt their markets. What do clients get when we work together? A mix of skills from innovation, market and customer insight, and multi-sector experience to help them solve difficult business and customer problems, and a guiding hand to help them navigate the change in their business. They also get a practical and pragmatic approach make their strategy real. And humour. (What we sign up for can be pretty challenging, so a healthy dose of humour goes a long way.) I enjoy building high performing teams, usually joint teams, and creating the environment where people are empowered to bring their best selves to work, develop and grow. Colleagues have sought me out to be their People Leader and / or mentor over the years because they know I'm firm but fair, supportive, take the role seriously, and prioritise them. I like to build trusted relationships with clients, get to the root cause of their challenges, engage the right people to create workable solutions and drive the delivery at speed. To complement my people skills, I've completed the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching at Henley Business School and now I'm working towards further accreditation.
