Are you concerned about how to hit your targets or even identify, support, and deliver areas where gains can be made?

Are you anxious that your teams don’t share your sense of urgency with respect to competition and change affecting your markets?

Are you frustrated because you can see the problems but don’t have the execution capacity to solve them with your current teams?

Wouldn’t it be better if you could achieve your goals with a level of confidence and know that a sustainable advantage can be restored or gained, trust your processes and teams to deliver knowing their resources and skills are aligned with your goals?

It’s largely due to the communications and process rigour in these areas not being as strong as it could be with collaboration and ‘business partnering’ efforts diluted to working in silo’s rather than across your organisation. You may have gaps you cant see because you don't know they're there.

Over a 25-year career in business and corporate development in 16 countries for companies on LSE:AIM, FTSE100, JSE, NYSE, multinationals, and start-ups, I have taken new products to market generating revenue lines from flatline to over £20m p.a, mitigated commercial risks for multinational organisations in excess of £10m p.a and transformed business operations through the successful delivery of multimillion-dollar transformation programmes in organisations with over 10,000 staff members implementing processes, systems, and practices still in use today.

If you want to cut risk, mitigate uncertainty across your revenue-generating operations, generate internal collaboration gains, and sleep easy at night, get in touch for a straightforward discussion. 0044 7477458094

Here’s where my expertise lies:

•	Board-level strategy 
•	Real-world experience actually delivering on digital transformation initiatives
•	Enterprise solution sales and the entire order to cash management process because I’ve carried a sales target, know what it means to hit my numbers as well as managing, delivery, and follow-through from order to cash management.
