About

I am Co-Director of Partnerships with Anike Wariebi.

I bring over 30 years of senior leadership experience across corporate and SME organisations.

Today, I specialise in executive coaching and mentoring, combining extensive leadership experience with empathy, curiosity and a practical, down-to-earth approach which creates an environment that encourages open and honest conversations, constructive challenge and practical actions that can be applied immediately.

My blend of commercial experience, leadership insight, coaching capability and stakeholder management enables me to build trust, create alignment across diverse groups and develop meaningful partnerships that deliver genuine measurable value.
