I am leveraging my executive experience across a range of enterprise sizes and markets to help ambitious organisations grow, scale and reach desired enterprise value. I was an Executive at IBM, DXE and others, running large P&Ls and pivoted to give back to industry to help professionalise, transform and scale businesses to achieve their enterprise value goals.
