My core aim is to help people focus on how to improve their organisation in the present, and stay ahead in the future.

I feel that my broad professional experience, drawn from a range of contexts and demanding, results-driven Sectors, can help give you renewed confidence going forward.

So if a truly independent perspective on what you actually need, not just what's "in", coupled with advice around the practical steps to achieve this is something of value to you right now - get in touch!.

I'm excited by connecting up with new people, cultures and experiences, innovative thinking and solutions.

I have long-standing personal interests in the Creative and Cultural Sector, particularly those projects which help encourage and support development of local talent, and progress a diversity of community engagement (as a musician, any related initiatives in this area will always be a big draw for me!).

A great work / life balance probably goes without saying!

APPROACH

Please contact me, I'd love to hear from Individuals or Organisations alike

Future-oriented

I have a perspective that considers how an organisation, small to large, public or private, can extend itself in going forward to meeting the challenges of the modern world. This is a world that embraces new uses of technology, new ways of connecting and interacting. I'm someone you can get to assess, and suggest, great ways to meet those challenge now... and in future. I've helped individuals, businesses and organisations of all types locally, nationally and internationally. If you think I can help you, get in touch!

Insightful Analysis

A lot of what we do these days is connected to how people meet, communicate and extend their influence: I can help achieve this for your unique work, your unique business, your unique services through my experience in high-profile Events, Promotions, Social Media, other Communications advice, Web and IT management, along with analysis and improvements to critical Systems. I believe that basing solutions on what you actually need, not just what's "in", is the best way to truly help you...

People-focused

Thanks to my time working in roles demanding agile thinking and decision-making, I have a unique outlook geared towards connecting to the real needs of people in challenging situations - helping to enhance the way individuals, businesses and institutions alike collaborate, augment and share their skills and services as they go about what they do on an every-day basis. Call me to find out how these perspectives can enhance what you do, whether involved in public and private business, Government or other Institutions.
