Stuart are positioned within the last-mile delivery space as a leader in sustainable logistics. After a period of rapid growth I was asked to provide organisational design and advisory support services for a restructuring programme, enabling their next phase of growth.

I joined the Warn + Co team in a permanent position, working part-time whilst studying for an MPA at UCL. The role included relationship management and project assurance with key clients, primarily in the Life Sciences sector, whilst supporting the core team from a mentoring perspective. During this time I was also responsible for personally delivering the following:- Organisational Design Lead - advising the commercial leadership team of a tier 1 bank on an organisational restructure. - Operational Effectiveness Lead - supporting a technology organisation with the design of their sales team, including their incentive management, performance management, and governance structures.

Founded in 2013, Warn + Co are a boutique management consultancy, focused on providing business strategy and transformation services for senior leaders. This is done through a core team of employees, supported by an extensive network of associates. Examples of projects I delivered include: - Commercial Lead - Managed (from strategy development through to close) a series of high profile commercial negotiations for the global leadership team of a Big 4 client. - Commercial Operating Model Design - Reviewed the Global Procurement Operating Model for a Big 4 client, culminating in a series of recommendations. I then proceeded to develop the strategy for a new core service proposition, aligned to the updated TOM. - Operating Model Advisor - Assessed and amended the IT TOM for a utilities organisation, resulting in a series of recommendations. Subsequently I led an internal group to develop end-to-end business processes.

Alongside running Colcha Clothing, I founded a freelance management consultancy, delivering business design and commercial strategy services for clients cross-industry.

I have a strong belief in sustainable development and social mobility, particularly relating to how the private sector can act as an enabler for those. With that in mind I co-founded a social business in South Africa and Ghana, manufacturing clothes from local materials, underpinned by a vision of creating sustainable communities around the fabric we sourced. During this time we generated traction in the UK market, resulting in media publications, and reaching agreements with several UK stockists. We also agreed partnerships with NGOs in the UK including The Big Issue, as well as key partners in-country, including Nkosi's Haven Village and Lion's Raw. Primarily the initiatives we delivered funding for in-country were education based, including providing school supplies and uniforms.

Alongside launching a social business, I took a fixed term contract with GSK, who had undertaken an IT transformation programme to improve their information security posture. My role was to manage the 3rd party suppliers workstream within the Operational Technology group. Specifically this involved identifying opportunities to strengthen the contractual position of high priority OT agreements, and red-lining these contracts for approval by the legal team.

Following a promotion and company reorganisation, I joined the Business Design team, broadening my experience to include all aspects of Business Model design - in particular adding commercial and operations strategy. Examples of projects I delivered include: - Global Commercial Operations - Strategy and Innovation Lead, managing a globally dispersed team to define and implement the commercial strategy and TOM within the Life Sciences industry. - Risk Shared Services Designer, supporting a tier 1 investment bank with the development of an internal (cross-charging) model for 'risk shared services'.- Cyber Security TOM Lead, co-leading a team to design the Target Operating Model for the new cyber security group within a quasi-public UK transport organisation.

After enjoying the aspects of my previous role related to problem solving, I felt management consultancy would be a good move, as it would afford me the opportunity to work on a variety of complex challenges for clients. With that in mind I joined the Business Transformation team at PA Consulting, specialising in Operating Model design and implementation. Some examples of projects I delivered include: - Portfolio Management Design Lead, working with a Pharmaceutical client to redesign their Operating Model and prioritisation criteria for their IT Portfolio Management function.- Infrastructure Transition Manager, driving to delivery the design and implementation of a switch between two infrastructure providers for a Life Sciences client.

Through acquisition, Lexmark had constructed a portfolio of back office automation solutions. With increasing responsibility for leading the sales cycle, I began to work with a tier 1 bank, designing the business architecture for a custom solution related to trade confirmation matching. As the solution required additional investment, I developed the business case and GTM strategy, securing approval from the Lexmark board to proceed. Subsequently, I led the project to take the product to market, working collaboratively with the bank and a third party fintech provider.

Upon returning to the UK I rejoined Brainware, who had since been acquired by Lexmark. Alongside direct business development responsibilities, I was asked to take over as Team Lead for a group of 7 Business Development Executives. This involved supporting the UK Management team to set team strategy, ensure group targets were achieved, performance management/reporting, and motivating the group.

I decided to spend some time in South and Central America, predominantly for personal curiosity, but with some voluntary projects thrown in along the way.

Brainware was a technology company founded in 2006, specialising in intelligent capture for corporate clients (OCR/ICR). It's hard to believe now, with such technology embedded in my iPhone, but at the time these solutions were quite contemporary!Part of the first team in Europe, my role was predominantly sales-based. This involved introducing potential customers to Brainware products and services, chairing initial customer meetings, before then handing over to Account Executives/Sales Engineers to continue the sales cycle.
