I’m a business change and growth expert focused on improving the performance of people and organisations.I help organizations transform their performance in pragmatic and practical ways. I combine my marketing and commercial experience with expertise in human behaviour to create broad commercial impacts for clients. I most often work across sales, service, commercial and marketing functions.I am a former FTSE100 Marketing Director who has directly led organisations through periods of accelerated growth, corporate turnaround, market share acquisition, maturity and startup through to sale. I was lucky enough to be part of a big corporate turnaround at Energis, creating $1B of value in 2.5 years. It was a huge experience for me where I noticed that the massive value created was directly proportional to the amount of time we spent as leaders working on the people stuff - culture, recruitment, management development, breaking down silos, adding creativity etc. It was a real "road to Damascus" moment where I realised that combining that with my more natural commercial focus made me and everyone around me more effective. It changed how I did business change forever and led me to go on to build Chemistry and now Positive Momentum.I believe that most business change programmes are sub-optimal and I hope that I am unpicking some of how to make them more effective with sustainable benefits rather than a flash in the pan.Key capabilities: leadership; director; COO; Chief Operating Officer; vice president; vp; marketing; transformation; growth; talent; entrepreneur; international; global; digital; communications; product; partner; turn around; change; management; strategy; people; consulting; business; telecommunications; technology; sales; development; HR; outsourcing; executive; integration; management development; leadership development; culture. ... and Derby County supporter!!
