About Me

Who am I, and what do I do?

I am a NED and Board Advisor who enjoys helping both businesses and individual executives reach their full potential. I offer services in six main categories: 

My background

I spent the my early career immersed in the corporate world with global organisations including Nestle, GSK and  Henkel. During that time I managed consumer goods and services businesses, living and working in Europe, Asia and the Russian Federation. 

On my return to the UK, I set up TCii, an international strategy consultancy, which developed a worldwide client base drawn from numerous industry sectors. Since that time, I have worked with a wide range of businesses, from multinationals to start-ups and growing organisations.

This period included two years as a London-based Vistage Chair of a group of 16 chief executives, ranging from the head of a £1 billion joint venture between Shell and Exxon to the CEO of a £15 million recruitment consultancy.

I also served as a director, non-executive director or board adviser to a number of companies, including:

  • Aestimo Technologies, Cirkularis 8, Hine Legal, Dixons Carphone and the Lakethorne Group, all based in London
  • Holt Lloyd in Wilmslow, Cheshire, Greenfisher in Reading, and European Business Groups – Brent International in Iver, Buckinghamshire.

I exited the strategy consultancy and, since January 2022, I have been running my portfolio of NED and Board Advisory roles via my UK legal entity, TCii, trading as Terry Irwin.
