What I offer

Expert Values Based Leadership

Expert Values Based Leadership

Having graduated in the top 5% of the leading Leadership Academy in the world, then served 8 years as an Officer in the British Army, including leading soldiers on active service in Aghanistan and with the United Nations, I am a life long student of leadership now also in the corporate world.

Strategy & Decision Making

Strategy & Decision Making

I have advised and offered strategic support up to ministerial level, and within a rapidly scaling tech start up. I'm hard to fluster, able to consider options and make decisions, even under extreme pressure.

Operations and Project Management

Operations and Project Management

I have managed complex procurement, and operational projects, audits for FTSE 5 organisations, multinational transformation programmes, and cross department technology roll outs across a range of industries in the past. I understand the primary need for strong and clear communication.

Experiences

Chief of Staff & COO of Tech Start Up

Chief of Staff & COO of Tech Start Up

I joined a tech start up delivering a risk intelligence platform just after a seed fundraise as a CoS. I then helped grow the company in terms of staff, product offering and revenue across a period of 2 years up to the point of series A.

Big 4 consultancy

Big 4 consultancy

Post leaving the military I joined KPMG, initially providing project management and leadership/change advice internally within the firm, and then as part of a multi firm, global transformation project. This exposed me to Agile and Lean PM techniques and the intricacies of a multinational corporate.

British Army Officer

British Army Officer

I was luck to train and deploy on active operations as a reconnaissance and armoured surveillance specialist whilst operating as a leader in the armed forces. This included working with the United Nations, the 5 eyes intelligence community and briefing to ministerial level.
