As a successful executive leading profitable business growth I work between corporations and venture capital to develop new businesses. Previously I worked with the President of the NBA to build a Growth & Innovation function and embed a culture of innovation.

Either as in-house growth leader or consultant, I have led profitable growth initiatives in every continent across consumer goods, financial services, pharmaceuticals, energy and the voluntary sector.
