Board Advisory & Strategic Growth
Helping founders and leadership teams turn ambition into sustainable growth
My role is not to run your business—it's to help you step back from the day-to-day, strengthen decision-making and ensure that your people, strategy and commercial ambitions are aligned.
With more than 30 years of leadership experience across FMCG, beauty, fashion, healthcare and high-growth businesses, I work alongside founders, boards and senior teams to provide independent challenge, strategic insight and practical support.
My approach
I believe the best advisors don't provide
all the answers...they ask better questions.
Combining commercial leadership with Mindspan coaching techniques, I help leadership teams move from operational thinking to strategic thinking.
Together, we explore questions such as:
- What opportunities are we not yet seeing?
- Are our people, strategy and goals aligned?
- What assumptions are driving our decisions?
- What does success look like in three years' time?
- What needs to change for the business to move forward with confidence?
My role is to create clarity, challenge thinking and help leaders make decisions that support sustainable growth.
How I support founders and boards...
Every business reaches a point where leaders need an independent perspective...someone who can challenge assumptions, ask difficult questions and help shape the road ahead.
I support founders and leadership teams with:
✓ Strategic planning and business growth
✓ Commercial strategy and market expansion
✓ Founder mentoring and executive coaching
✓ Leadership development and organisational culture
✓ Board-level challenge and decision-making
✓ Team alignment and stakeholder engagement
✓ Scaling and transformation
