Strategy Without Substance Is Just Noise. I Help Organisations Develop A Clear Signal.
Leadership | Advisory | Research
With Rigour, Wit, and Results
Fractional Leadership
For organisations who need embedded leadership without the FTE overhead. I step into critical functions—delivery, operations, transformation, governance—and bring clarity, cadence, and calm.
Strategy & Governance Advisory
When strategy reads like aspiration and governance has become performative, it’s time for a reset. I work with boards and management to reconnect ambition with accountability and decisions with reality.
Leadership Development
Less charisma, more character. I support leaders—emerging and established—to grow in discernment, manage complication, and lead without becoming accidental chaos agents.
Research &
Thought Leadership
From white papers to board briefs, I help organisations say what matters and say it well. I bring research rigour and rhetorical clarity to writing that persuades—internally and externally.

Me In Brief
I have over two decades of experience across publishing, national standards, health, performing arts, and charity sectors. I’ve led transformations that create shared value without destroying morale—clarifying strategy, sharpening governance, and building sustainable cultures that consistently deliver. My work centres on restoring clarity, discipline, and legitimacy to institutions that have begun mistaking activity for progress.
I write, I podcast, and I occasionally provoke, all in service of helping organisations endure with purpose, prudence, and just enough poetry to keep it human.
