About

I'm a Global Business Leader with 20 years of experience scaling B2B operations across the UK, Europe, and the Middle East.I've delivered £500M+ in revenue impact by redesigning distribution models, strengthening partner growth, improving margin discipline, and leading complex multi-territory operations through growth, recovery, and restructuring.My core expertise is in international business development, wholesale operations, revenue systems, pricing strategy, sales performance, commercial governance, and executive positioning.I've led large teams, managed high-stakes credit exposure, and supported senior leaders through moments where judgement, pressure, and execution quality mattered.Key areas of impact:- Growth Architecture: Redesigned distribution and partner models, supporting 40% growth across key accounts and stronger gross margin performance.- International Scale: Built and led multi-site sales and contact centre teams of 300+, improving output by 50% through clearer operating rhythm, KPI architecture, and accountability.- Revenue Recovery: Reduced churn by 20% and supported sales recovery across complex B2B environments, including work connected to Citigroup, HSBC, Hyundai, ING, and British Gas.- Executive Decision-Making: I explore how AI, emotional intelligence, and neuroscience can help leaders improve judgement under pressure, challenge assumptions, and scale without losing the human context that complex business requires.Alongside my leadership work, I advise selected senior executives and leadership voices on executive positioning, thought leadership, and publication-standard business writing.This includes executive newsletters, business articles, opinion pieces, leadership essays, and long-form thinking for leaders who have real experience but limited time to turn that experience into clear, credible public authority.The work combines structured thinking, sharp argument, commercial judgement, and editorial discipline. I'm currently open to senior opportunities in the GCC with real scope, authority, and measurable business impact.I'm also open to selective advisory and ghostwriting partnerships with leaders who have strong views, lived experience, and no interest in publishing forgettable content. If you need support shaping serious leadership writing, send me a DM.
