Connecting people, plans and performance.

I work at the point where strategy, leadership and organisational execution meet. Over more than twenty years, I have helped leadership teams turn strategic ambition into the structures, decisions and operating disciplines required to deliver. Most recently at Salesforce, I partnered with executive leadership across strategy, investment governance, workforce planning and organisational performance at global scale. Before that, at Canon Europe, I led pan European operations and transformations across 18 markets. My work has rarely fitted nearly into one function - and that is precisely the point. I am most effective where priorities, people, investment and execution need to come together. I bring clarity to complexity — and stay with the work until clarity becomes action.

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 Bobby 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.
