Member Board of Trustees

Thanks for stopping by so let’s jump in.

I help high performing individuals and organizations achieve clarity, strategy, and action across three critical areas:

🔹 Personal Mastery – Mindset, habits, self-discipline, and resilience.
🔹 Professional Excellence – Leadership, career strategy, executive presence.
🔹 Business Growth & Wealth – Entrepreneurship, decision-making, scaling impact.

As a curator, storyteller, and community builder, I integrate personal, professional, and business development into a cohesive framework for transformation. My work spans leadership, sustainability, and creative expression, all driven by a commitment to excellence and meaningful impact.

For me, leadership is not just about titles, it’s about courage, conviction, and action. My book, The BRAVE Leader, alongside my articles and podcast, explores what it means to lead courageously, strategically and with resilience/anti-fragility in an evolving world.

I collaborate with executives, founders, and boards to refine leadership strategies, build high-performance cultures, and navigate complexity with confidence. I also run group programmes for senior managers and directors looking to accelerate their leadership

I am increasingly focused on businesses that balance economic, environmental, and social responsibility, especially energy, food security, wellness and housing. True sustainability isn’t just about compliance, it’s about creating long-term value while safeguarding the planet and the communities we serve. Through advisory work, speaking engagements, and coaching, I support mission-driven enterprises committed to innovation and sustainable impact.

Beyond leadership and business, I host QED, a series of invite-only dining clubs for people in my network. I’m a passionate collector of African and Caribbean art, curating stories and cultural legacies through visual narratives. Creativity fuels my approach to problem solving and vision building, whether in leadership or in the arts.

And for lifelong balance? You’ll find me cheering on Liverpool FC, where passion, resilience, and strategy are always at play.

Let’s connect if you’re building something bold, impactful, and sustainable.

Towry

We are one of the UK’s leading wealth advisers and specialise in providing high
quality, expert financial advice to private individuals, families and trustees.
Established over 50 years ago, we have 21 offices across the UK and look after
the financial needs of over 25,000 clients.

When you seek advice from Towry, you have the reassurance of knowing that
all our wealth advisers are highly qualified. In fact, the majority have achieved
Chartered Financial Planner status, the highest professional qualification in the
industry. One important difference of our service is our advice is Towry’s advice,
rather than the experience and thoughts of one individual. We achieve this by
working as a team, where our wealth advisers work alongside wealth planning
and technical experts.

What sets us apart from other advisers is that we believe that your financial
decisions should be made as part of a personal financial plan which is structured
to help you achieve your short and long-term financial goals. Therefore we start by
completing a Lifetime Financial Plan with our clients. This is done purely on a time
cost basis, which means we are able to give advice in the best interest of our clients.

Head of Business Development

As the Acquisition Manager, I was looking for IFA businesses to join the Towry brand. This was a national role which is very exciting as I got to meet lots of different business owners and entrepreneurs helping them to make sense of industry changes and look at their long term strategy. 

My mission was to seek, find and engage with like minded IFA businesses who were looking at a longer term career in the Industry or seeking an exit strategy.  I spent time getting to understand their business and if appropriate discuss the benefits of joining Towry.

Acquisition Manager

At Towry we provide independent financial advice and an independent investment management service to private clients and small to medium sized enterprises. I manage a team of  professionally qualified advisers  who deliver high quality independent advice and they are supported by an extensive team of experts in all relevant fields. We recognise that each client has individual requirements and we tailor our solutions to help achieve financial goals.
