Expert Advisor (Digital Health, Technology, AI)

CEO Coach | Board & Strategy Advisor | Chairman & NED - Helping ambitious CEOs, Founders and Entrepreneurs develop themselves, their people, and grow their companies.

I'm a CEO Coach & Advisor - I help ambitious people successfully scale themselves, their teams and their business. I've spent over 25 years building, growing, scaling, and exiting market-leading companies across technology and healthcare:

→ From startup to 4 successful exits
→ Raised millions in venture capital
→ Expanded internationally to 10+ countries
→ Generated GBP60 Million in sales in just 20 months
→ Scaled and captured 80% of a market in just 3.5 years
→ 11.5 million clinical encounters per year.
→ Orchestrated several successful mergers and acquisitions
→ Built several high-performing teams that scaled globally
→ Served 320 million global citizens.
→ Right through to a business with GBP5 Billion in revenues and 75,000 people 

This journey shaped my approach to unlocking growth, performance and leadership. 

But as a CEO, I often wished I had a coach & advisor who had been on the same journey - someone with the insights, guidance and advice to help me navigate growth, scaling and leadership transformation. 

Today, as a CEO Coach & Advisor, I work with ambitious CEOs who want to successfully scale themselves and their companies. Over 150 CEOs have trusted me to help them:  

→ Unlock potential
→ Accelerate growth
→ Transform leadership
→ Build high performing teams
→ Create cultures where people thrive
→ Become the best leaders they can be 

I work with CEOs, investors and teams who demand results for themselves and their business because I've:  

→ Scaled and exited multiple companies
→ Know what does (and doesn’t) work
→ Coached CEOs across industries

My approach blends real-world experience with a relentless focus on results, combining insights from decades of entrepreneurship, behavioural science, business and leadership coaching. 

My clients aren't just looking for growth. They're seeking real transformation:  

→ From working in the business to owning the vision.
→ From isolated success to connected influence.
→ From uncertainty to clarity in strategy.
→ From good to great leadership.
→ From success to legacy. 

Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways we can work together: 

1. Coach - Elevate your leadership and drive both personal and business growth. 

2. Advisor - Practical, board-level guidance to scale your business effectively. 

3. Chairman or Non-Executive Director - Long-term support to align strategy with execution.

You can spot the real leaders in a room 

By what they *don't* do.

Not the ones who speak first.

Or the ones who raise their voice.

The ones who stay grounded when chaos erupts.

Because once people discover your trigger points, they'll find them again.

Not always intentionally, but it happens.

A poorly worded email.

A meeting that derails unexpectedly.

A thoughtless comment that spreads.

The moment you react, you've surrendered control.

Leadership is about remaining composed.

Especially when discomfort sets in.

In my 25 years working with founders and executives, the most effective leaders share one trait: they're nearly impossible to provoke.

It's not natural. But these practices shift the dynamic:

→ Assume good intent. The majority of people have it.

→ Inquire before concluding. Most conflicts stem from misunderstanding.

→ Pause. Three seconds of silence rewires the entire interaction.

→ Replace blame with curiosity. It changes what you discover.

→ Major decisions deserve sleep. Especially ones made in anger.

You can't control the room.

But mastering your own response? That's where real power lives.

Talks about #growth, #healthcare, #innovation, #leadership, and #entrepreneurship

Chairman, CEO Partner, Strategic Advisor | Growth. Leadership. Performance. | CEO of the Year | Top 20 Leadership Influencer.

Clinicians don’t want more tech. 

They want less friction.

Most HealthTech startups still don’t get this.

Every demo promises “seamless workflow”.

Every founder says “intuitive design”.

But in the hospital, every new app means:

one more login
one more alert
one more thing 

between a clinician and a patient.

The next generation of winners won’t build more tools.

They’ll build invisible ones.

If you lead a HealthTech company, ask yourself: does your product save time, or steal it?

As a coach, I work with HealthTech CEOs facing this exact tension... scaling tech without creating friction.

If you want to pressure-test your product or culture through that lens, message me.
