"Trusted by people who usually prefer
not to work with consultants.".
" Mostly, I do my best work helping good organisations
find their feet again after things got messy. "
I help organisations and the people in them find direction; especially when things are uncertain.
Whether they’re facing change, challenge, or simply drift.
I help teams to find clarity, structure, and the calm required to make good decisions.
By working alongside and within teams, I help them to create practical plans and unlock lost momentum so that we all make progress that actually sticks.

EXPERIENCE
Global Trade
www.globaltrade.scot / www.sbn.scot
Advising company founders from Edinburgh to Tokyo and most places inbetween. From my beginnings specialising in cross-cultural business at Casio, I use my real world experience and networks to help businesses successfully navigate export, and the realities of working across borders and cultures.
Sustainability
www.netzeronation.eco / www.greenbridgeassociates.com
Net Zero Nation is a business led climate initiative helping companies turn sustainability commitments into real action and tangible benefit. Today, over 200 businesses are part of this growing community, focused on doing, not just checking boxes.
Turnarounds
//
I support organisations through difficult patches. With five significant turnaround projects to date, two of which I led directly, my approach is tried and tested. Taking the role of interim CEO, I bring focus; rebuilding trust, and helping teams find a workable path forward. This is where my steady thinking, diplomacy, clear communication and resolve deliver most.
partnerships
www.sigma.scot / www.sigmasolved.com
Throughout my career, I've focused on building partnerships that drive meaningful progress. At Sigma Solved, we specialise in identifying and nurturing collaborations that accelerate growth and innovation. Whether it's entering new markets or reaching new audiences, I help organisations forge connections that are grounded in trust and shared values and ambitions.
speaking
//
I speak with business audiences about change, leadership, and sustainability; drawing on 30 years of real worldwide experience across sectors and continents. My talks blend storytelling with insight, always grounded in the pragmatic realities of getting things done. I don’t do hype.
I leave people thinking and with something new to try.
