Biography

With a unique interest in the performance of organisations and people, having worked with hundreds of companies and well over 10,000 people on a one-to-one basis over 25 years, I maximise the performance of any team.  Clients projects have included company and team turnaround, business reinvention, and breakthrough results: for the LSE a ROI of 100,000%.  My experience includes leading teams, workshop facilitation for up to 100 people, and management of multi-stakeholder projects – including one for 300+ companies in a £5bn UK sector. 

I also Chaired the Grenfall Tower Resident’s Group, working alongside the co-author of the Grenfell Action Group blog, fighting against the ill-fated construction project on the grounds of its safety and quality. I advised council leaders and those leading the project something bad may happen if no action taken. 

What I’m really good at:

  • Safety leadership
  • Culture change
  • High performance projects
