A passionate & engaging Business Growth Consultant helping the leaders of scaling businesses to think strategically and define a robust path to profitable growth.
From multinationals to exciting start-ups - as well as the Development Agencies tasked with supporting them - I enable scaling businesses to deliver growth in 4 ways:
- Designing & Delivering Growth Strategy Programmes for Business Accelerators.
- As a Business Advisor/Mentor/Coach.
- As an expert consultant supporting the Development Agencies who are tasked with enabling economic growth through Entrepreneurship.
- Through my podcast Brand Growth Heroes and public speaking engagements.
I have a blue-chip Brand & Business Strategy background, mainly across food & beverage brands, which begun in 1999 as a Nestlé UK Graduate. Following 8 years at Nestle, I became Managing Director of one of the original start-up successes - Gü Chocolate Puds France, which I launched nationally and led succesfully for 3 years.
As project lead for the CHOBANI UK launch, I’ve experienced both the ups and downs of international business development. Across 25 years' I've learned from the challenges faced by all entrepreneurs across product development, brand building, demand generation, route-to-market definition, supply chain and co-manufacturing partnerships, managing finance, customer negotiation and last but not least, managing & developing people.
Muscle memory means I can quickly identify many of the common pitfalls faced by entrepreneurs and advise businesses on how to overcome them.
As a lecturer at UCD Graduate Business School for over 8 years, I've been able to conceptualise all of my practical experience, making it relevant to all businesses that have a customer with needs, competitors and a route to market!
