I am an associate of a wide range of global coaching networks and teams. Participating in these organisations enableS me to continually improve my skills and capabilities.

Corporate background

Master Coach with 20 years’ experience coaching senior leaders to transform their behaviours and enable them to achieve their full career potential.

I have had a successful commercial career with ICI / AstraZeneca, in the industrial chemicals / agrochemicals / biotechnology and genetic engineering sectors. This gave me international line management experience in sales, marketing, research targeting and international customer supply chain project management.

I was also Retail Performance Director with Sainsbury’s Supermarkets and I was a business strategy / performance management consultant for Deloitte and The Balanced Scorecard Collaborative. This consultancy involved leading projects at Executive Committee level to improve customer service, processes, employee commitment and business profitability.

In addition to the above sectors, I have worked and coached in sectors including: automotive, banking, beauty, broadcasting, brewing, communications, construction, distilled beverages, music, mass media, pharmaceuticals, retail, real estate, space research, sports and travel. Also computer / financial / professional / internet / IT / iCloud products & services.

Specialist Expertise

Executive coaching for leaders on multinational corporate programmes

I qualified as a Professional Business Coach in 2002 and am a Master Certified Coach (MCC) of the international Coaching Federation. I have worked on coaching programmes for clients based all over the world including America, Asia Pacific and Europe. I have over 5,000 hours of experience, successfully coaching senior executives from over 40 countries to develop their leadership capabilities, improve personal, team and business performance.

Coaching to global group C-Suite / Executive Committee level

I coach to accelerate career development at all levels from high potential leaders to the full range of executives at local, regional and global Group C-Suite / Executive Committee levels.

Stakeholder Centered Coaching. Transformational behavioural change

I have a 20-year track record coaching already successful executives to achieve positive, measurable change in their leadership styles and behaviours and accelerate their career development. I have been accredited as a Master Coach for Stakeholder Centered Coaching (Marshall Goldsmith) and I have completed thousands of stakeholder interviews. I am a Master Practitioner in Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). I combine these two areas of expertise to support executives to achieve transformational behavioural change that is sustained long after their coaching programmes have been completed.
