About
I’m an executive coach, creative, and former SVP/GM with 30 years of leadership experience in high-performing, high-pressure, and deeply creative environments.
From 2014 to 2024, I scaled the CSR franchise — growing it from an 8-person startup to a 200-strong global team, launching the billion-dollar generating CSR2, and driving ~30% YoY revenue growth to its peak. I carried full 9-figure P&L responsibility while cultivating a psychologically safe and resilient culture.
My time building NaturalMotion Racing and scaling the CSR business was driven by one goal: creating the conditions where talented people could do the best work of their careers.
Today, I bring that same philosophy to coaching — blending systemic insight, deep coaching expertise, and a decade of conscious leadership practice to help creatives, change-makers, and visionary leaders think and lead at their highest level.
Work With Me
Unique coaching partnerships to transform how you think and lead.
Executive
Executive Coaching explores your priorities and goals both systemically and systematically.
Clean Language approaches allow you to explore your internal landscape without interference.
Systemic Tools provide wider context of what is, and what has gone before, without judgement.
Validated Psychometrics give you quantifiable insights into your relationship with the self-system-society axis.
A partnership built on your capacity for profound change - helping you uncover your own insights and act on them with lasting impact.
Transformational
Transformational Coaching works at a deeper level, honouring the you of today and your achievements, and developing the you of tomorrow.
We'll explore how you interpret and engage with the world: your values, your worldview, the unconscious patterns that shape your decisions, your highest aspirations.
This work reconnects you with your true north, realigns you with what matters most, and brings that clarity into every aspect of your life and leadership.
Creativity
Creativity Coaching supports you in moving past creative blocks, calming the inner critic, and allowing the parts of you that know how to imagine, shape, and express, space to shine.
Every session will be unique.
We'll use a personalised blend of mindful practices, creative play, and coaching, to work through any blocks, uncover fresh inspiration, and allow creativity to flow.

Manifesto
The Coherent Field
“As AI scales cognition, the uniquely human edge is coherence —
presence, relational depth, and the ability to hold paradox.”
The leaders I work with aren’t just managing change — they’re redesigning the systems they lead from the inside out, including themselves.
The next generation of leadership isn’t just technical.
It’s systemic, embodied, and deeply human.
Leadership today isn’t just about vision and execution. It’s about fostering resilience & presence, whilst tapping into your innate creativity.
