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.

As a Cybersecurity Awareness Training Project Manager, I wield my fifteen years of project management expertise, conjuring innovative training and organizational development solutions. Whether it's managing the development of immersive e-learning modules or orchestrating interactive ILT sessions, I thrive on enhancing security cultures.

Lately, I've been on a mission to empower mid-sized organizations with top-notch cybersecurity project management. Picture this: managing the creation of a whopping 150 cybersecurity courses for a national educational publishing titan – that's where the magic happens!

And when I'm not working in the cybersecurity realm, you'll find me seamlessly navigating between the sunny streets of Atlanta, Georgia, and the captivating cityscape of Lisbon, Portugal.
