Global business coach · Founder · London
A founder’s perspective.
An honest outside view.
I work privately with founders, owners and family enterprises on growth, leadership transition and continuity.
My background ↓
Formation and standards
Business experience is one part of the work. My certification and continuing one-to-one mentoring focus on how I listen, question and help another person think without taking over the decision.
How I work with you →01 · Phenom Coaching Systems
I completed my business-coaching certification through Phenom. It gave me a formal structure for listening closely, asking better questions and holding a useful line of challenge.
The certificate will be displayed here once its image is supplied.

Sanjay has been the principal influence in my development as a coach. His guidance reaches beyond coaching practice into the personal discipline, judgement and self-awareness the work asks of me. I continue to work with him one-to-one.
Sandeep guided my coaching development through Phenom and continues to mentor me one-to-one. That work continues as I put the training into practice.
Martin mentors me one-to-one through Connectd, with a focus on advisory and fractional roles. Our work centres on the judgement and responsibility involved in advising founders and leadership teams.
Connectd
I completed the Connectd Board Advisor Course in August 2025. It is part of my preparation for advisory work, alongside the experience I bring from operating businesses.
Connectd is also how my work with Daniella Conway at TRVLR began. That contribution is described separately on the Work page.

Working together
Discretion is the starting point. We agree the question, the boundaries and what a useful outcome looks like before the work begins.
I start with your priorities, the history of the business and the relationships that matter.
I will question an assumption when it needs testing, and be clear about the limits of my advice.
We work towards a clear next step. You remain responsible for the choice and in control of it.
