I started my career in business analysis, going on to leading teams, and creating new ventures. I worked for KPMG Management Consulting, British Steel, the AA and Centrica in various strategy and marketing roles. I also spent time developing policy (for government programmes and inside the DTI's think tank for Michael Heseltine). Alongside this, I did an MBA at Cranfield University, specialising in organisation development and leadership.
Since then, I've spent more than two decades working independently, mainly one-to-one with people from diverse backgrounds, specialising in leadership assessment and development, creating growth strategies for their businesses, and working with growing teams.

For the last twenty five years, I have been focused on leadership. That has included leadership assessment with various big organisations like Virgin Media, Insight Invesment, FCA. But the bulk of my work has been through Cranfield University, working with owner managers on and beyond the Business Growth Programme, whether as a mentor coach, a non executive Director or as a thinking partner. 

I have complemented my work with qualifications in various psychomentrics, executive coaching and in psychotherapy (I am BACP registered).

This dual business/people path has shaped the way I work now: clear, human, direct, and deeply attuned to the realities of leadership and organisational life.

20+ years working with Managing Directors and senior leaders
⦿ A strong practical understanding of business strategy and growth
⦿ A grounded, person-centred therapeutic training
⦿ Experience running leadership development programmes
⦿ A calm, safe, relational style - but with the courage to challenge

My clients often come when they are at a point of shift: stepping into a bigger role, reshaping their organisation, managing complexity, or feeling the personal toll of responsibility.

My job is to work with you to see clearly, decide wisely and move forward with confidence.
