Innovation shouldn’t feel like pressure without progress. Yet many leaders I work with are stuck in exactly that space. They’re expected to move fast—but don’t have time to think. They’re leading innovation—but unclear whether they’re solving the right problem. They’ve run strategy sessions and pilots—but can’t make the change stick. I help leaders and teams slow down where it matters—so they can move faster where it counts. My work focuses on four key challenges: Understanding the real problem behind the problem (no more jumping to solutions) Designing smarter decisions in complexity (move forward with clarity, not chaos) Aligning teams and stakeholders (so change feels shared, not forced) Implementing innovation that sticks (not stalls) I blend psychology, human-centred design, and practical strategy to help people turn insight into action - especially when the stakes are high and the path isn’t obvious. As an innovation coach, advisor and educator, I’ve supported 225+ teams across business, government, and education to design smarter decisions and lead real change. I’m known as The Slow Strategist - not because I move slowly, but because I help leaders pause where it matters most. Before assumptions harden. Before decisions get baked in. Before “solution mode” derails the real work. I’m the co-author of Innovation in Action: Unlock Curiosity, Creativity and Clarity with the DUCTRI Method, and I write a weekly newsletter read by 10,000+ professionals who want to lead with confidence - not chaos. Earlier in my career, I founded and scaled a financial services business to 2,000+ clients and $500M in assets. Burnout led to a complete reinvention: I sold the company, travelled through 23 countries with my family, completed an Exec MBA, and retrained in human-centred innovation. That reset equipped me with the real skills leaders need to thrive in a VUCA world: slowing down to think clearly, making human-centred decisions in ambiguity, and turning insight into action.
