Global Operational Leader | Builder of High-Performing Teams and Strategic Operating Models

Bath, England, United Kingdom

About

I'm an experienced senior leader with a passion for understanding how things tick, a passion that extends throughout my professional and personal life. Professionally, this has led me to build a career in Operational Leadership, strategy, change and building high-performing teams. Having been fortunate enough to have held a number of senior roles in global financial centres across Europe, the US and Asia, I have many experiences across diverse cultures; experiences that have helped the multi-disciplinary teams I have led to develop, grow and ultimately perform at the highest levels, something I derive tremendous personal satisfaction from. I hope and believe that these experiences have helped make me a resilient, versatile and, above all things, authentic leader, but I will always let the performance of my teams be the judge of that.
