BOARD ADVISOR | CONSULTANT | NON-EXEC DIRECTOR

As joint Founder and Managing Partner of ngage consulting ltd. - the UK's leading business consultancy for the animal health industry, I am privileged that today I can combine a passion and a strong theoretical background with more than two decades of experience in owning, leading and advising high-growth companies ranging from start-ups to internally renowned companies in my consulting work to help companies develop sustainable people and strategy solutions capable of delivering operational excellence.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing individual professionals and companies succeed. Often the nature of my work involves collaborating with companies during periods of transformational change that demands the highest levels of communication skills, the power to persuade and convince people, and not least the appetite and courage to lead from the front.

I have a strong network to draw on and a specialist expertise that is recognised internationally, as well as the battle scars reflecting my 25 years at leadership level...

I have participated in the development of hundreds of talented people, many of whom have gone on to have highly successful, hugely meaningful and satisfying careers across the world. I am honoured to say that many ex-colleagues still come to me for advice long after our formal relationships have come to an end.

A recent study amongst UK SMEs reported that 82% of companies didn't have a formal business plan in place. The reason given by managers was that they don't know how to go about it. I have developed a step-by-step framework that organisations can use in their strategic planning. I help organisations embed strategic planning into their culture to make them more efficient and more transparent. It creates a more inclusive culture and increases employee engagement. The results speak for themselves.

I am extremely interested in adding NED roles in the UK to build a strong and varied portfolio.
