Summary
I am a dynamic leader who has driven positive change at management board level for well over 20 years in three large professional service businesses operating in the legal, accountancy and intellectual property (IP) sectors.
For 14 years I was the Chief Operating Officer of one of the UK’s leading IP advisory firms. I left the firm, by agreement and on good terms, at the end of April 2021.
Prior to that I was Business Development Director at a sector leading law firm for 3½ years, followed by 8½ years as Executive Partner of a UK top 15 accountancy firm. I began my business career with 7 years at a global advertising agency, including 2 years based in Canada, achieving Account Director level within 5 years. This was followed by a full-time MBA course at Warwick Business School and 2 years in a senior client facing and business development role at a management consultancy.
As a highly experienced senior manager and business leader with a track record of success in the profitable growth of professional service businesses across three different sectors, I am now exploring new opportunities and immediately available.
