I am an entrepreneur, director and consultant with a passion for improving public services and over ten years’ experience in strategy, transformation and change across the public, private and third sectors.

My work involves helping individuals and organisations drive reform to solve pressing social and economic problems. In doing so, I work with organisations from government bodies and multi-nationals to voluntary sector groups and aspiring entrepreneurs, addressing individual issues and more systemic failures.

I blog (very) occasionally and tweet (less) but I am always interested in new developments and engaging with others.
