“Every board discusses strategy. Few see the risks, pitfalls, or what never made it into the board papers. Over a decade on both sides of the table taught me to find what’s missing, and to challenge it.”

The value I bring to a board

Governance

Clear standards, policies and procedures that keep a business ethical and lawful, and the challenge to make sure they’re upheld.

Risk

Identifying commercial, legal and regulatory risk globally, and shaping strategy to mitigate it: protecting profit in business, and impact in charities.

Social value and sustainability

Making sure business is never just transactional, and leaves a positive impact on people and the planet.

Operations and strategy

Building the structures, processes and teams that turn strategy into delivery, for start-ups, scale-ups and charities alike.

Board & Advisory

The best decisions start with the right questions.
