I have 30 years international experience of leadership and management operating from a base in the UK and France. My sector experience covers Private, Public and the Third or Voluntary sector, across retailing, manufacturing, distribution, publicity, utilities/public services and aid/development organisations.

I have experienced many major change programmes including participating in hostile takeovers, mergers, being sold by a parent company as well as experiencing both listing and de-listing on the UK and US stock markets.

Since 2004, my principal activity has been individual coaching and selected consulting assignments related to change and human resource management issues. These have been predominantly in the UK, France and Belgium.

I am a visiting lecturer at Newcastle University Business School, the Magellan Institute in Paris and RANEPE in Moscow. I have also lectured at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers in Paris; l'EDHEC Business School in Lille and the Grenoble  École de Management.

I teach modules on International Human Resource management, Leadership and Leading Change on a variety of Masters level degree programmes.

I served 6 years as a Director and Trustee of People in Aid, a London based NGO working globally to improve the practice of human resource management in the aid and development sector.

Since 1993, I have co-owned and managed a family publishing and distribution business.
