Connecting people, plans and performance.

I excel where strategy, leadership and organisational execution meet. Over more than twenty years, I have partnered with leadership teams in global and EMEA organisations to strengthen the conditions for execution: clearer priorities, stronger governance, better decision support and organisational capability. Most of that time was spent inside two organisations, not moving between them: global Strategy & Operations leadership at Salesforce, and before that more than a decade at Canon Europe across B2B markets, European sales management and major IT transformation programmes. I stayed because the work was rarely finished in a single push, and I'm the kind of person who stays until it is. I can consult, but get more energy from delivering until the impact is achieved.

Outside work, I'd love to sail. Weather doesn't ask permission, and neither does a transformation programme in year three: you tack when the wind turns, hold course when it doesn't, and either way you don't leave the people on board. That's roughly how I lead, too. Steady at my course, adapting to conditions, true to my crew.

I'm a family man first. My wife and children come before everything, and our dog keeps all of us honest. I'm loyal by nature to family, to friends, to the organisations I commit to, and I'd rather be involved than keep my distance. I also genuinely enjoy life: a great meal, reading or watching a thriller, playing strategic boardgames. It won't come as a surprise that I love solving puzzles at home and at work.

I'm a steady hand, but steady isn't the same as still. I bring real passion to moving organisations forward, with deep knowledge of the work, with drive, and with the conviction that ambition only means something when you make it real together.
