Recruiting, building and enabling effective teams
I support clients in building effective teams. From recruiting, onboarding, developing, and offboarding, to Team Coaching designed around the specific challenge of the client.
I bring a wealth of practical experience running teams in PE environments where speed, agility and cost are key.
Building Lean & Scalable Processes
As a business scales it gets harder to manage. I'm passionate about building simple repeatable business processes that allow managers to focus on what's really important.
I cut my teeth implementing agile process across global businesses, and now support startups in building right-sized process.
Fractional CxO
A COO allows a founder to work on the business as opposed to in it.
I work as a fractional COO - once as a founding COO picking up all the roles that were not hired for, and more recently as a COO overseeing day-to-day operations of a business.
Key to success? Chemistry and can-do attitude.
Digital Transformation
I work with clients undertaking digital transformation - from smart products to customer journeys to digital ecosystems.
My focus is on using technology to enable new business models and revenue streams.
My experience ranges from startups to global companies both as advisor and as CIO.
Experiences
Global CIO - TI Fluid Systems plc
TI is a global manufacturer suppling parts to 50% of all cars built worldwide. As Global CIO my role was to digitalise the business - transforming the customer experience; enhancing employee effectiveness and engagement; and simplifying product design, manufacture and supply chain. All at low cost!
Certified Coach and Mentor
My career has been around creating effective leaders and teams - as they underpin successful businesses. From effective communication to emotional intelligence. My experience ranges from large plc's such as Unilever, to PE owned Businesses. I am a certified Coach from Henley Business School.
General Manager - English China Clays
My passion for teams and turn-arounds started when I was appointed General Manager and challenged to turn-around or close a loss making division of ECC. We rebuilt the workforce into effective motivated teams, reformulated the products, reconnected with customers and hit profit within 8 months.
Balance & My Best Self
What brings me alive? Helping myself and others become our best selves & community - at work or play. I run an all volunteer canoe, kayak and SUP club that gets 100's of young people and adults onto the water. I enjoy expedition paddling, hiking, scuba diving, freediving and laughing out loud.
