      Away from work, I try and squeeze in way too many sports and hobbies: road cycling up mountains, trail running with my dog, sailing, skiing, diving and lots of DIY projects!

      I love surfacing and pursuing the “difference that’ll make the difference” – whether that’s direct gains from Agile & Lean principles and techniques, or more often through supporting and encouraging growth in the people involved. I draw on a variety of approaches to help people to become more able, creative and innovative in tackling the challenges that they, their teams and organisations face in pursuit of happy and productive environments. 

      Away from work, I am often out exploring the countryside on foot or by bike. I adore nature, however my family are starting to think that they’re living in a garden centre! 

      Senior Coach and Agile Consultant. In addition to Agile certifications, I am a certified International Coaching Federation (ICF) Coach, Licenced Psychological Safety Practitioner and NLP Trainer.
