BOARD PORTFOLIO

Governance experience grounded in executive leadership.
 

I bring a combination of CEO leadership, board experience and international executive perspective to strategy, organisational transformation, reputation, stakeholder alignment, people and remuneration, and leadership succession.
 

My board interests include technology and digital services, media and information, health, professional publishing, and substantial purpose-led or member organisations. I am particularly interested in organisations navigating change, complex stakeholder environments or strategic renewal.
 

For board opportunities or introductions, please contact me directly.
