My Strengths, Style and Experience

Strengths and Style…

I’m a big advocate for Clifton Strengths, and my profile is centred on strategic and creative thinking, and on engaged, positive relationships. The word cloud above is derived from those strengths and reflects the feedback I get from colleagues and clients. I build trusted relationships that are built on challenging, stimulating and collaborative interactions, fuelled by curated and creative insights. I help generate and prioritise future possibilities, and the plans to achieve them. And I’m positive, energising and empathetic, because life’s too short not to be.

Experience

I’ve held leadership and strategy roles at global content companies and platforms as well as corporate ventures and start-ups. I’ve led commercial, marketing, commissioning, product, production and technology teams who have delighted hundreds of millions of consumers and generated hundreds of millions in revenue. I’ve advised and coached CEOs, founders, regulators and policy makers on their strategic opportunities and risks, and the transformational disruption created by technology and new business models. I’ve served on five boards and chaired three of them. You can read more detail over on LinkedIn.

And last, but by no means least, I’m happily married, with three great kids and two exuberant dogs, and while based in Cambridge UK we have very strong ties to Canada. I’m not prolific on social media, but you’ll get a different flavour from the links below.
