About

In brief

I am a consultant who has helped to reform companies and governments across Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. I currently lead a project team for the UK’s Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in London. My wife Helen and I live in London and Southampton.

Professional

My first professional role was in the oversight of a government grant programme in the (then) Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in London. An increasing interest in economic development led me to join Adam Smith International, an international development consultancy, where I led a number of advisory projects throughout Africa and the Caribbean. This was a demanding but rewarding role, seeing me present to government ministers, senior officials and the press.

Following my marriage in 2006, I joined MTM London, a boutique strategy consultancy, where I worked on advisory projects for a range of UK-based public and private organisations, including Channel 4, Bauer Media and Ofcom. I recently moved to an in-house consultancy position in the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, leading project teams on a variety of projects to improve the UK business environment.

Personal
