I've spent much of my career in roles that sit between strategy and delivery — taking broad objectives and turning them into something organisations can actually execute.

​

That has meant leading major programmes, but also dealing with the less glamorous things that make businesses work: finance, people, suppliers, governance, commercial issues, risk, priorities and the inevitable problems that don't sit neatly within anyone's job description.

​

I particularly enjoy working with smaller and growing organisations, where the challenge isn't usually a lack of ambition or expertise. It's about creating enough structure around talented people to allow the business to grow without slowing it down.

​

That's the thinking behind Paraxus.

​

I prefer being part of the team rather than advising from the sidelines. I’ll challenge where I think it’s useful, help make decisions when they need making and get involved in the detail when that’s what the situation requires.

​

The aim isn’t to create dependency. It’s to bring clarity, structure and momentum where they’re needed - and leave every organisation stronger than I found it.
