As an executive coach, I bring a unique blend of professional backgrounds as a lawyer, C-Suite member, and Royal Air Force VR(T) officer. This diverse mix, which includes experiences in large multinational businesses, small boutiques, and large law firms, has equipped me with a global perspective and adaptability. I've also ventured into the ‘gig’ economy, further broadening my understanding of different business models.

My coaching and consulting style and methodology are not just a set of techniques but a reflection of my values. They are characterized by thoughtfulness, support, honesty, forthrightness, and care. I particularly enjoy working with CEOs, individuals navigating organizational and reputational issues, and those moving onto boards for the first time. My clients often come from the legal, pharma, automotive, retail, and financial services industries. I constantly learn and have advanced coaching qualifications equivalent to the PCC level.

I’ve made some significant changes throughout my life, not least in the transition from a senior lawyer in the UK legal profession to becoming COO of an international Manhattan consultancy and then setting up my businesses, all in addition to moving to the United States from the United Kingdom, so I know what it feels like to be uncertain and find yourself outside of your comfort zone, wondering what is next. I help my clients understand the long-term and bigger picture, focusing on success and what they can control or influence and supporting them practically and emotionally in their journey toward the following chapters of their lives.

My professional journey has taken me from the City of London to Manhattan, New York. This international experience has given me a unique insight into cross-cultural differences, which I apply when supporting executives in multinational organizations. This cross-cultural understanding can give you the confidence that I can navigate and understand diverse business environments. 

For almost a decade, I have focused again on advisory work, setting up my firm coaching and advising, alongside continuing to undertake voluntary advisory roles on both sides of the pond.
