About

Do you have a real strategy or just a plan that looks like one?

Most organisations fail because their strategy isn’t clearly defined or it isn’t consistently executed.

Leaders tell me the same thing again and again:

“We are not confident our strategy is the right one and even when it is, it’s not being delivered.

This dual challenge - strategy design and execution - is the core problem I help organisations with.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡

CEOs, Chief Strategy Officers, transformation leaders, and senior teams who want to:

↳ Clarify strategic choices and sharpen where-to-play/how-to-win
↳ Align functions and break down siloed execution
↳ Turn Balanced Scorecards, KPIs, OKRs into performance drivers—not reporting tools
↳ Build a culture of discipline, focus, and accountability using EFQM
↳ Strengthen innovation and business model design
↳ Move from “strategic plans” to measurable, sustainable results

Whether working in Europe, North America, Asia, or the GCC, these challenges show up everywhere—and the costs are universal.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩

I partner with leadership teams in:

1. Strategy Formulation
Clear choices, evidence-based design, and actionable strategic narratives using tools like Play-to-Win, Blue Ocean Strategy, and strategic foresight.

2. Strategy Execution Systems
Balanced Scorecards, OKRs, KPI and EFQM systems built to activate action—not bureaucracy.

3. Business Model Innovation
Helping organisations reimagine how they create, deliver, and capture value using Strategyzer, Lean Startup, and evidence-based innovation practices.

My approach blends practical execution expertise with the rigour of academic research and global experience.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐞

↳ Thinkers360 Top Voice 2023–2025 for strategy / innovation
↳ International experience with organisations including IBM, Roche, Symrise, NEC, and Informa
↳ Deep expertise across strategy formulation, execution, and business model innovation
↳ 2x Master's degrees, MBA & Master of Professional Practice + DBA candidate researching the root causes of strategy–execution failure
↳ Certified in the world's leading strategy / Innovation frameworks

Credentials matter only because they help me solve the problem that matters most:

👉 Closing the gap between strategy design and strategy delivery.

When organisations fix that gap, they move faster, innovate smarter, and sustain higher performance.

If your strategy isn’t fully translating into results, let’s talk.

    OUR MISSION IS TO CATALYZE A GLOBAL SOLUTION TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS BY MAKING URGENT ACTION A NECESSITY ACROSS EVERY SECTOR OF SOCIETY.

    We believe real change comes from the ground up. We know that a small-but-committed critical mass of activists can not only transform society, but change the world.
    That’s why we recruit, train, and mobilize people to become powerful activists, providing the skills, campaigns, and resources to push for aggressive climate action and high-level policies that accelerate a just transition to clean energy.

    Our signature activist program, the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, has trained over 42,000 change makers worldwide since 2006. The result is a global network of activists leading the fight for climate solutions through our 10 branch offices – Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, and South Africa and a partnership in China – and 140 chapters across the US.

    Alongside these efforts, our dynamic communications initiatives connect climate and behavioral science with the emotional power of compelling stories, raising awareness and inspiring action in online audiences everywhere.

    I have been a fund raiser for this charity since 2008 as I believe the work it does is so beneficial.

    At The Myton Hospices we believe that everyone matters for every single moment of their life; we focus on enhancing life when cure is no longer an option. We are leaders in compassionate end of life care; our work centres on our patients and involving them in decisions about their care. Perhaps most importantly we give them more quality time with their loved ones.

    At the heart of what we do is patient wellbeing; from managing symptoms and controlling pain to providing social interaction so that they don’t feel alone, from delivering emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual support to offering a relaxed and friendly environment where friends, family and pets are welcome. We know that making someone feel better is not just about medicine, sometimes holding someone’s hand or taking the time to listen to their fears makes the greatest difference.
