My thirty year business and leadership track record includes advising Chairs, CEOs and Exco members as a Boardroom headhunter, strategy consultant and entrepreneur. My expertise includes CEO, Exco and Non-Executive Director succession planning, leadership development, talent assessment, and advising individuals on their career strategy. I have a wide-ranging knowledge of how Boardroom appointments are made. I have advised many FTSE 100/250 boards, private equity businesses, mutuals and public sector entities across financial services and other industries. I enjoy coaching CEOs, P&L and functional leaders, and helping clients build ‘modern portfolio careers’.
My personal experience includes leadership and culture change in international organisations as well as building entrepreneurial businesses – having been through an IPO, a management buy-out, building and selling a company, private equity ownership and setting up my own business. I have an international personal and business background, speak German and Italian, and am an art enthusiast – bringing a range of perspectives and networks to my clients.
It is fascinating and a privilege to coach, advise and mentor CEOs and Exco leaders at key moments of career development and transition. I combine coaching disciplines and Hogan psychometrics with grounded business acumen, listening and challenge. Clients working with me comment on my integrity, thoughtfulness, creativity and follow through.
