I work with CXOs of large organisations and their teams to innovate, design and launch new products, new services, new customer experiences, and new ventures to drive top-line growth, and build innovation capability in-house. In my parlance that is the design and launch of new customer value propositions (CVPs) to solve the unmet needs of customers in a way they love, the business can deliver, and creates value. I thrive in dynamic, entrepreneurial environments having co-founded and scaled start-ups, so I’m acutely aware of the need to win new business, deliver a great client experience, build trusted relationships, support clients’ success, and make them heroes. I bring a challenger mindset, questioning the status quo to find a better way to get things done. I have grown client revenues in many industries including Financial Services, Utilities, Energy, Telecoms,Consumer Goods, Retail, and Healthcare. I’ve recently completed the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching my executive at Henley Business School.More...
