Having led, owned, managed and grown multiple successful agencies, with a track record of world class results, I’m now focused on making other good companies, great. Together we develop your strategy, bring your ideas to life and make your business dreams reality. As an agency specialist Non-Exec Director and qualified Cognitive Behavioural Coach with a profound understanding of human behaviour, I bring energy, ideas and execution experience to create impact - working with founders, board directors and leaders to build their business into a highly valuable, unstoppable force for good. And we laugh, a lot. In leading Propellernet, we transformed the Brighton based SEO agency into a global marketing organisation and SAAS provider, serving the PR, content & search world with coveragebook.com & answerthepublic.com. We tripled our margin, quadrupled our revenue and made 10x more profit - hand in hand with being one of the top 15 Best Places to work in the UK, 8 years running. The full story is captured in my bestseller, Superengaged. https://superengaged.co.uk/ Having taken my exit in 2019, I now engage with founders and leaders to build their agency into a highly-valuable asset. Being a hands-on practitioner, agitator, action taker, voice of reason, bringer-of-perspective, springboard and safety net all rolled into one – a lot of the thinking here can be found in my second bestseller, BBOP https://www.bbopbook.com/ Enjoy! As a cognitive behavioural coach through the Association of Coaching (British Psychological Society) alongside Skilful Leader certification from the Chartered Management Institute, I help leaders tackle the hard stuff, break through anxiety and indecision to make brave decisions from a place of safety. With people and engagement as high priorities, I have been named one of the Corporate Rebels Pioneers in recognition of progressive thinking, one of the 'Top Inspirational People' in the agency industry 2020 and in Timewise Power50 for progressive working practice. Early on in my career I took marketing agency TMW international, winning Nissan Europe digital & data business across 26 markets; moving to France, setting up a dedicated arm of the UK agency, servicing markets from the Nordics to Russia. (That was fun, we laughed, we danced and spoke a lot of French, badly). With the first 15 years of my career in leading agencies in London, working with Marks & Spencer, British Airways, Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infiniti, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s & Unilever. It has been and continues to be, an absolute blast. Let’s talk.
