Working particularly with internationally-focused clients, I provide a mix of consulting services at both organisational and operational levels. I have worked extensively with the private sector, government, foundations, NGOs and other international organisations. I am experienced in working with organisations on complex issues in complex environments (see below for thematic and geographic experience). I am interested in understanding and effecting positive change, bringing together diverse perspectives and data, including technical, commercial, cultural, political, social and environmental. My natural approach blends strategic thinking with practical action.  People, whether colleagues, staff, clients, communities or wider stakeholders, are always central to my approach.

Who

I provide a relaxed, empathetic and purposeful environment in which my clients feel empowered and enabled to do their best thinking.

How

When consulting, I believe that the how is as important as the what and why.

Consulting adds value by bringing a fresh perspective, dedicated capacity and specific skills. However, this value is only activated through genuine engagement with the client. I work in close partnership with you, investing quality time and effort to really understand your challenges and priorities. I build trust at all levels and am experienced at bringing together different perspectives.

My advice is strategic but grounded in operational realities. I bring a results-oriented and rigorous approach, combined with the judgement to tackle complexity. 

Where required, I have access to a trusted bench of consultant colleagues who bring specific expertise in relevant services, thematics and geographies.
