How I work
If you bring me in, you’ll get a calm pair of hands who moves quickly, gets to the facts, and simplifies priorities. I make decision-making explicit, set a practical operating rhythm, and keep delivery moving, without drama, and with clear reporting so you and the board know where things stand.
Outside of work
Outside work, I’m happiest outdoors; walking, surfing, skiing and mountain biking. My competitive edge and love of teamwork come from rugby, where I’ve played and coached for many years. I keep fit through triathlons and endurance events — a good test of discipline, consistency and staying steady under pressure.
