I’ve been there

A CHEQUERED PAST

I have experienced bitter failures in my own enterprises, along with sustained, head-spinning success.

linkedin LINKEDIN a chequered past

I have won awards for my consulting work.

I have split from business partners in painful, acrimonious ways.

I have built a high-functioning, world-class consultancy.

I have witnessed dismal cultural crack-up in businesses of many shapes, sectors and sizes.

I have worked to re-engineer cultures and processes in global organisations.

I have set small businesses on the path to big growth.

I am as driven and flawed as you are.

I recognise that founding or leading a business can be a lonely experience, and requires bravery.

I know that through honest, sometimes difficult conversations you can solve most problems and unlock progress.
