"My focus is on the systemic nature of business ensuring that all the dimensions of change are covered. My passion in this belief is enabled by a broad experience across organisational consulting, IT, project management and strategy roles. My motivation is however in seeing people, teams and organisations develop and grow. In my free time I can be found taking long walks with my dog or on the terraces supporting my local football team."
