About
Armed with little of the 'ambition, drive and focus' that seems to fuel everyone on Linked In, I've simply worked hard, kept calm and been lucky enough to work for some amazing people and companies. As I result, I've been hugely fortunate to 'semi' retire while still young enough to ride a bike quickly. If I possess anything 'special' (which is entirely debatable) it is perhaps the ability to see things as they are, the willingness to tell the truth about them (even when painful) and a facility with language to communicate all of the above neatly. I am also blessed/cursed with worrying reservoirs of optimism that frequently spill over the sides to those around me. On my gravestone, alongside "please don't let my wife sell my bikes and guitars on ebay for what I might have said they were worth", will be written: "diplomacy is the art of letting other people have your way".

Experience

founder and chairman
adeki performance management
* Adeki helps athletes, competitors, business leaders and well, anyone, to improve their performance by enabling them to understand, measure and managing their stressors * and the true causes of them * more effectively. We use advanced biometric monitoring systems, psychological models and tech-interventions to ground everything we do in science rather than airy speculation.

chairman
lab | digital agency
I joined the LAB ground in October 2018 as Chairman to help as the company begins a growth and acquisition phase. LAB is a high quality marketing and digital agency whose point of difference is a deep understanding of human behaviour (via neuroscience, behavioural economics etc) and practical methods for applying the science to ensure effective marketing.

non executive board member
brushlink
NED for a new healthtech company that will disrupt the oral health market by using a low cost tech to help users brush better and gather longitudinal data in the process.

investor and advisor
gas tag
A role I accepted because Gas Tag have created the single most important innovation to protect the safety of people in homes served by gas in 30 years. For tenants this is the 'missing link' to accountable gas inspections... for landlords, it is the gateway to a new standard of gas safety compliance. Proud to be part of the team as it is rolled out.

Responsible for all above and below the line marketing activity including advertising, online marketing, MGM, CRM and social media engagement. This added to previous role as Head of Corporate Communications responsible for all external and internal communications for the esure and Sheilas' Wheels brands including media relations/press office, proactive public relations, internal communications, marketing communications, Government affairs and lobbying.

director
webb of intrigue
Having retired from full time work on 13th May 2015, I have set up a small hilariously-named limited company to undertake any interesting bits of consultancy in strategic marketing, communications and public relations that come my way and take my fancy... NOTE: my main aim is to do less rather than more so this is as far from a new business pitch as they come!

non executive director
gocompare.com
I was offered a role as NED for Gocompare.com following my retirement from esure Group plc in May 2015. I have followed the development of the price comparison market closely since its inception in 2005 and believe that the 'insurance heavy' incarnation of comparison will transform into any markets where consumers have previously found themselves behind opaque curtains which make holistic and informed assessments difficult.
