A Business Transformation Leader with over 30 years of experience within industry and management consulting. I work with clients to understand their issues and challenges and then architect and deliver solutions that will drive change and deliver the required results. Whether it be the start of a business transformation programme, a turnaround programme or just working with teams who are trying to achieve new heights, I get into the detail to assess the position, map out a path forward and then drive programmes to “make stuff happen”. My reputation extends beyond that of Programme Director to a leader, risk manager and trusted coach, committed to helping a team to deliver a programme.My unique approach involves seconding client personnel out of their line role and into a project team. I lead, coach and mentor them to deliver the desired results; leaving my clients with a competent internal project management and change capability. I have achieved this by leading teams directly as well as running virtual teams based across multiple geographies. I inspire the individuals within my team to deliver results, by identifying key motivations for each of them. I then build the team’s strength by being inclusive, leveraging diversity, establishing clear outcomes. I adopt a “sports team mentality” that includes: instant feedback, coaching, agility, direction and support.It has been said that I have strong gravitas which I believe comes from my personal presence, self- awareness, high emotional intelligence, drive and ambition. This allows me to work well with individuals of all levels and backgrounds. My attitude ofpragmatism and to “do the right thing” has seen me establish a high level of trust with clients, managers, peers, and my team. I have worked across numerous industries - Telecommunications & Media, Financial Services, Oil & Gas, Aerospace & Defence, Retail, Not-for-Profit - from start-ups to large corporates, working across the Globe (Europe, the Americas, Russia, Central Asia (CIS), South East Asia, Pakistan, India, Africa, and New Zealand).
