About
I am passionate about helping boards, the C-suite and younger executives to lead to the best of their ability and build a society that creates opportunity for all. It's a privilege to be at the forefront of the debate about trust, diversity and purpose, the impact of disruption and changes in employee expectations.
I am a firm believer that leadership doesn't - and shouldn't - come from position alone. "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
