About

I work with businesses on marketing, growth and the messy business of helping teams move in the same direction. Usually during periods of change or the point where things properly organising before the next stage begins. Most of my work is fairly hands-on. Building strategies, shaping teams and putting operating structures in place that work in practice, not just on paper. I also write On Growth, a place for thoughts on what actually helps businesses grow, beyond the usual noise around scale and performance.
