Executive Partner, Accelerating strategic priorities to commercial results
When misalignment starts to slow execution as change or complexity outpaces current ways of working, I bring structure and restore alignment.
I parner with excecutives, founders, their leadership teams and beyond at organisations from Series A to FTSE 10 to bridge strategic birds' eye view with operational rolling sleeves up practicality to translate vision to impact at pace.
Why this matters now
The market is shifting faster than most organisations can respond.
Even small misalignment between teams and operations creates outsized opportunity cost. The organisations that act now will define what comes next.

|How we work together
1. Keynote Speaking & Workshops
Audience
C-Suite and beyond.
Outcome
Your audience leaves with immediately applicable frameworks they can use the next morning, alongside a renewed sense of ownership and energy.
2. Strategic Consulting & Embedded Execution
When commercial impact is slowing because ways of working have not kept pace with the rate of change, I identify the systemic barriers that are blocking progress.
I deliver a short diagnostic sprint using my CoS alignment model to pinpoint exactly where execution slows as complexity increases. Then I provide commercially focused, GTM-ready recommendations at pace, so you can act immediately.
How I work
In partnership with executives and, where present, their Chiefs of Staff. Where appropriate, there is also an option to embed and deliver execution on a fractional basis.
|Keynote speaking & workshops
Where executive strategy, operational clarity, people focus and AI meet real-world application.
Every talk is designed so your audience walks out with frameworks they can apply the next morning, not just inspiration that fades by Friday.
