I’m a senior leader who specialises in staying calm when things get complicated. My work focuses on helping organisations navigate change, uncertainty and complexity — particularly when the context is messy, the stakes are high, and clarity really matters.
I sit at the intersection of strategy, narrative and delivery, working closely with leadership teams to make sense of what’s happening, align around what matters most, and move forward with confidence. I’m often brought in during periods of transformation, integration or scrutiny, where trust, judgement and momentum are critical.
Above all, I’m interested in work that makes a real difference — where there’s intent to change, space to think as well as act, and a shared commitment to doing the right thing, not just the easy thing.
Organisations often reach points where the context is unclear, the environment is shifting, and familiar approaches no longer work. I support leadership teams through these moments — helping them navigate complexity, make sense of what’s really happening, and move forward with confidence and intent. This work often sits at the centre of transformation, integration or organisational reset, where clarity and judgement matter as much as pace.

Books are where I slow down, sharpen my thinking, and occasionally escape altogether. I’m fairly indiscriminate in my tastes: leadership and self-development inevitably dominate the…
