For founders and senior leaders in the hardest reinvention of their careers.
Thinking partneR. Coach. mediation. facilitation
Twenty-five years inside markets & banking, product, fintech and founding.
As AI capability accelerates, human capabilities matter more, not less.
Strategy. Negotiation. Conflict resolution. Powerful communication. Organisational transformation. The instinct and mindset to think like a founder whether we are one or not.
These are the capabilities that now define competitive edge - for any leader, in any organisation.
This is my domain.
Who I work with
I work with senior leaders typically facing four reinventions at once: reshape the business, adopt AI, replatform the technology, and still hit the number, while leading what needs to be a high performing organisation to make the ambition a reality.
Most are operating at altitude in Markets, Fintech, Product, or Founder-led businesses. All carry weight that is hard to put down.
The work
I provide a truly confidential and objective space, partnering with you so you have quality time to zoom out and think clearly:
Gain clarity and insight on the elephants in the room and sand in the gears
Find the path to that ambitious, stretch target the current playbook cannot reach
Land AI in how people actually work, not just in the strategy deck
Scale organisation and culture without losing what made it work in the first place
Strengthen the leadership bench so succession is ready before it is needed
Sharpen product organisations and rebuild the intrapreneurial /entrepreneurial competitive edge
Mediate the conflict, including the toxic kind, that quietly costs more than anyone admits
How we work together
Engagements are typically bespoke and can include:
One-to-one coaching with executives and senior leadership teams.
Team and Organisational transformation coaching
Offsite design for leadership teams (often those under pressure, with key topics to tackle)
“Alchemy for Gamechangers” a leadership development programme for those reshaping the businesses they lead.
Conflict mediation when relationships matter and the cost of keeping the status quo is high.
Lectures, workshops, keynotes and transformational experiences for organisations doing real change.
We design together for what your situation actually needs for maximum positive systemic impact.
Why me
My practice sits on twenty-five years of doing the work itself: leading change and transformation inside some of the world's largest investment banks, building inside fintech, and founding ventures of my own. I speak the language of leaders at this altitude because I have lived it.
For specialist needs: key hires, psychometrics, board effectiveness, talent, I draw on a trusted network of partners. Where useful, we bring in less expected talents too: drumming, performing arts, graffiti, and other practices that move people in ways only the novel and unexpected can.
“I’ve been on two leadership development programs and had 2 leadership coaches before. Coaching with you is leagues better because you understand this business. You’re a great coach and you’ve walked my path. ”
