Sector Experience

Experience Across Industries, Business Models and Stages of Growth.

Over the last 25+ years, I've worked with global enterprises, growth-stage businesses, SMEs, educational organisations, charities and founder-led ventures.

While the sectors vary, the challenges are often remarkably similar. Organisations are navigating change, adopting new technologies, evolving products and services, developing people, and trying to align commercial goals with customer needs.

My experience spans technology, telecommunications, healthcare, education, professional services, community organisations and not-for-profit sectors. Across each, I've helped leaders simplify complexity, strengthen positioning, build capabilities and create sustainable growth.

SaaS, AI and Technology

Technology businesses operate in fast-moving markets where innovation alone isn't enough. Success depends on translating complex products into compelling value propositions, aligning teams behind a clear go-to-market strategy, and creating scalable growth engines that can evolve with changing customer needs.
