I am a results-driven CEO with exceptional commercial acumen, a naturally agile mindset, and a track record of securing investment for start-ups and major expansion programmes and dissecting / commercialising opportunities, evaluating all potential options and exercising sound judgement to deliver successful outcomes. One of my key strengths is developing sound business models, financial plans and cashflow projections to secure investment. In my current role as CEO of Modern Water plc, a company which I founded in 2007, I prepared and led the company through an IPO process to source equity capital and enable growth ambitions to be realised, then implemented an ambitious strategy for targeted acquisition of a complementary US business and achieve 5 additional equity placings to facilitate sustained growth. I combine strong situational leadership skills with robust performance management, embedding a culture of excellence to facilitate superior commercial performance. I am passionate about provision of a strong developmental environment to encourage high performance, applying a transparent, consultative management style and harnessing exceptional stakeholder management skills to build trust and ensure values are aligned.
