Non-Executive Director & Board Advisor

Pragmatic challenge, clear governance, and execution support for boards that want results.

I help Chairs and CEOs sharpen strategy, improve board effectiveness, and deliver measurable outcomes—drawing on deep operating experience, M&A insight, and a global network.

What I do for boards

  • Governance & Effectiveness: Strengthen decision-making, board dynamics, and risk oversight; ensure agendas surface real tension early and drive action.
  • Strategy & Performance: Clarify priorities, align leadership, and translate strategy into execution with clear accountability.
  • M&A & Due Diligence: Stress-test assumptions, uncover hard-to-find risks, and prepare for integration—before, during, and after the deal.
  • Transformation & Turnaround: Diagnose bottlenecks, refocus effort, and restore momentum without unnecessary disruption.

How I add further value

  • Mentor to senior executives: Confidential counsel that improves judgement, resilience, and delivery under pressure.
  • Career planning for leaders: Discreet support for transitions, portfolio careers, and board readiness.
  • Board-level intelligence: Access to hard-to-find market and reputational insight through a trusted international network.
  • Speaker & facilitator: Practical, agenda-shaping sessions on board effectiveness, due diligence, AI in the boardroom, and post-acquisition integration.

Why boards work with me

  • Seasoned perspective: Corporate and mid-cap experience across growth, restructuring, and international markets.
  • Hands-on, outcome-focused: Measurable improvements in governance, profitability, and execution.
  • Discreet and ethical: Trusted by boards and investors for sensitive mandates and complex change.

If your board is preparing for a decision that really matters, let’s talk.

A brief conversation will confirm whether I can help you accelerate clarity and delivery.
