Acting as an agent for positive societal change is my driving force, and I offer extensive expertise leading and supporting organisations to grow in the not-for-profit and private sectors. Combining creativity with critical thought and commercial acumen, I add value through applying well-practised lean methodologies to establish and grow business ventures, assess risk, and identify scope for continuous improvement. Collaborating with key stakeholders also underpins my ability to take a “whole-business approach”, and to shape solutions to problems that enhance brand value and maximise organisational effectiveness. In addition to shaping strategic vision, I bring a thoughtful, pragmatic approach to the management of all aspects of operational and workforce activity. I thrive on the new, the undiscovered, the different, and place high value on lifelong learning – both my own, and that of others. I believe that this enables me to unify professional effort, and enable colleagues at all levels to realise individual potential. I am comfortable offering constructive challenge, where that might be required, in order to assure corporate governance and compliance with regulatory requirements, and feedback indicates that I do so positively and supportively. I believe that my unique value proposition is the breadth and depth of international business expertise acquired at the most senior strategic level, combined with steering ventures throughout their creation and growth to a position of stability and sustainability. This blend of expertise is transferable to any industry sector, enabling me to bring a fresh, authentic voice to the boardroom. Most importantly, perhaps, I maintain an ethical stance, and ensure the highest standards of integrity, rigour, and good governance in all professional activity. Please do connect with me to find out more. It would be great to chat.

As MD for the EMEA region, accountability lay with me for developing the go-to-market strategy, client acquisition, and leading the activity of subject-matter experts in professional functions including statistics, compliance, and tax. A notable achievement in the role was my work to win large-scale government incentives for clients globally, including $8m for a telecoms firm that generated £200k in fees on a single transaction.

I was delighted that my leadership of Business Birmingham, an award-winning start-up agency and part of the West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC), generated record investment levels including winning the relocation of HSBC’s UK retail head office out of London for Birmingham in competition with several other major UK regional cities. This project created 4000 new jobs, and represented a GVA impact of £650m. In addition to repurposing the agency to a broader West Midlands geographical remit with the Executive board, I also re-engineered the business model to diversify income streams away from a dependency on government and European grant funding. As part of this, I generated 50% of WMGC’s total annual revenue of £10m, and achieved a 75% increase in memberships – reaching more than 500 private sector partners – within a two-year period. I was also pleased to have been able to deliver a five-year European funded business support programme representing a value of £18m, and oversaw its completion one year ahead of schedule. Behind the scenes, I invested significant effort in nurturing talent to build high-calibre teams, and oversaw workforce growth from three to 30 staff within just four years. In this capacity, I also served as a Board Member for the Mayor of the West Midlands' economic development agency. This involved holding a dual role, working as both Investment Director (operational lead for the new start-up inward investment and business support agency), and Commercial Director (leading the membership income generation team).
