‘One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is seeing the shift that happens when a leader gains real clarity. Through coaching and drawing on my own experience, I’ve helped business owners and leadership teams cut through the noise, focus on what truly matters, and make decisions with confidence. It’s that moment when they start backing themselves—and you can see the impact ripple through their business—that stays with me.’

His deep understanding of technology, customer experience, and leadership performance is rooted in a career that spans multinational executive roles and board-level governance across public and private companies.
