I help founders and leadership teams navigate the things that are genuinely hard. Communications under pressure, organisations going through change, and moments that call for clear-headed advice.
More than 35 years working in and alongside marketing communications consultancies and technology businesses means I've seen a lot of change, and it gives me a perspective few others can offer. Senior communications expertise, and the judgement that comes from having worked both sides of the table.
Ways to work with me
HIGH STAKES ISSUES ADVISOR
High stakes communications moments need experience, agility and perspective. From crises, a leadership change, an M&A process, or a personnel issue.
Over three decades leading communications through IPOs, transformation, and crisis. I work across crisis response, executive positioning, and stakeholder engagement with media, regulators, and investors.
AGENCY FOUNDER MENTOR & ADVISOR
Building an agency is one thing. Building it while leading a team, serving clients, and often raising a family is another entirely.
I bring an unusual combination: agency co-founder and senior client who oversaw around £10m in agency spend. I work across commercial strategy, structure, and the leadership challenges of growth, as hands-on as the situation demands.
IN HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM ADVISOR
Sometimes the team, or their partners and agencies aren’t delivering, and it's not immediately clear why.
I bring the same perspective from both sides: building and leading in-house teams, and appointing and managing agencies. Right-sizing, reviewing relationships, or rebuilding confidence in the function, as team-facing as situations demand.
