Officer

I help Senior Leaders and their teams to craft strategies that deliver their business goals and improve their collective performance and team alignment along the way.

With a background of 20 years working with over 250 Senior Leadership Teams (many of those CIO and Senior Technology teams), experience as a McKinsey & Company consultant and as a Royal Marines Officer, I bring a set of skills in facilitation, strategy, leadership, and high-performance team development that combined together is quite unusual.

Why Work With Me?

I offer Senior Leaders a unique approach that combines strategy development and team development - done in parallel, each part accelerating and amplifying the other. The process I use has been tried and tested over many years. It delivers both a strategy and the makings of a high-performance Senior Leadership team in weeks, not months. This ensures not just a strategy but a team ready to implement it.

And of course, it is far better value for money than hiring a large management consulting firm who will deliver you a 200-page PowerPoint deck with little buy-in from your people.

Client Testimonials

'Antony has been working with me and my senior IT leadership team for the last 12 months to develop, refine, and start implementing our strategy.

Thanks to him, we now have an ambitious yet simple and very workable strategy, my management team is totally aligned and committed to implementing that strategy, and the other members of our department now have a clear direction and common way of working together that has already improved our performance.

This is the direct result of the very innovative, yet practical and efficient process that Antony uses for developing strategies that include all the team members, combined with the unique way that he facilitates workshops and meetings. We would not have achieved so much so quickly without Antony's support. I strongly recommend his services to other CIOs.' - CIO of a Global Apparel Company
