A few examples

Here’s a sampler of work I’ve done to identify and action the things that unlock outstanding performance ⚡, driving:
positive impact & sustainability, growth opportunties, new futures and lean, effective operations .

Typically, I work with executive stakeholders, and execution teams to design, test, build and embed things like:
business or operating models • tech products & services • experiences • teams • processes • or strategic plans. Over the last few years, I’ve found there’s enormous potential đź’Ž in uncovering where the best interests of people, the planet, and profit intersect to create compounding value for all three đź’Ş. That’s the most exciting and urgent challenge.

About me

I’m an executive-level strategy maker/do-er, business designer, impact entrepreneur and speaker. I’ve spent my career working globally to help market-leading companies and market-breaking startups scale, transform, and continuously launch things their customers rave about, backed by solid operations, and often driven by advanced tech. And I firmly believe that what’s better for the world is also better for business.

Don’t take my word for it, there’s a mountain of proof - here is a diagram. So, now I focus on helping ambitious businesses and social enterprises who want to do something incredible for the world while performing at their very best.

I lead cross-disciplinary teams that help companies imagine new futures, uncover the highest-potential opportunities - operationally or in the market, identify leverage points for change, then join the dots to get there - and execute fast.

My sweet spot is working on the fringes of what’s familiar; where things start to get a bit uncomfortable, and where there tends to be a lot of volatility, uncertainty, change, and ambiguity (VUCA).

I do this through executive leadership in operational and business design, growth and product strategy, lean execution, and - most importantly, orchestrating diverse skillsets to drive toward a common vision - from designers, data scientists and engineers, to citizens and customers. My own toolbox includes co-creation and executive/stakeholder facilitation, analysis and insight/foresight, design, investor relations, behavioural psychology, and an eye for awesome, talented people.

I’ve done this for <$1 start-ups and >$10B Fortune 500 corporations and Sovereign Wealth Funds, for friends, philanthropists, farmers… and once, a President
