My experience
I bring almost two decades of global experience, primarily within in Professional Services, including designing and leading go-to-market development programmes at one of the Big Four. I bring a strong blend of commercial insight and people development expertise to my coaching work.
The leaders I coach usually want to accelerate growth, strengthen leadership impact, and develop high‑performing teams and practices. My coaching integrates leadership, team, and sales disciplines. Clients are then coached to balance commercial performance with human connection, make confident decisions, and step boldly outside their comfort zones to achieve lasting results. Often they work in challenging environments and need support to prioritise effectively and make choices that require careful consideration.
Originally from Australia and a committed running enthusiast, I draw on the discipline and focus that comes from sport to help clients build confidence, resilience, and sustained performance over time. I want them to have fun in the process too!
What it’s like to work with me
I am curious, approachable and a natural listener. I create a safe but challenging space where clients can cut through the noise, test new approaches and uncover insights they can act on.
I bring energy for the long term change leaders want, along with the structure and clarity to help clients focus on what matters most. I work hard to build the trust and intimacy that make transformation possible. Expect me to balance empathy with practicality, guiding you to workable solutions that you can own and implement with confidence.
