I'm offering
Throughout my career I have held onto a burning passion with focused dedication for uplifting the collective human soul, which has allowed me to produce astounding improvements in business agility at pace.
As a charismatic, energetic, positive disrupter, I have always significantly improved every team and organisation I have had the pleasure of working alongside. With a wide array of experience in the Financial Services sector, ranging from 18,000-person Transformation to scaling FinTech’s, I am grateful to feel confident in adding significant value to any team and all organisations.
Most recently I have had the opportunity to work with many clients across the globe, on behalf of one of the world’s largest consultancies. This allowed me to rescue multi-million-dollar relationships from breaking point, through a series of interactive, immersive and bespoke training and coaching programmes in Design Thinking, Systems Thinking, Service Design, Scrum Mastery, Agile Coaching, Agile Leadership, Agile for Services, and innovation.
With my passion, experience and dedication, your organisation’s leadership and teams will thrive in record time.
