I'm a seasoned consultant, business leader and international speaker. Experienced in transformation strategy and leadership coaching, solution design, pre-sales, sales, change and line management. I love nothing more than focusing upon improving the flow of value within an organisation and I'm often found working as a coach/ advisor, designing solutions and workshops to remove impediments to adoption or geeking out over the impact of organisational structures, team dynamics and behaviour economics. I'm passionate about doing work that matters and enabling others to do their best work.
