Leadership at the Top Doesn’t Have to Be Lonely
Executive Coaching, Keynotes, and Strategic Insight from a Former Military Commander.
From Command to the Boardroom
I work with founders, CEOs, and board chairs who understand the weight of being the one others rely on.
As a former military commander, I bring grounded, strategic guidance to leaders facing complex decisions, high-stakes conversations, and moments where clarity is critical.
You don’t need another advisor — you need someone who’s been in command and knows how to help you lead with conviction under pressure.

How We Can Work Together
Executive Coaching
1:1 support for leaders who need a trusted sounding board, a strategist, and someone who tells the truth — without the fluff.
Keynote Speaking
Impactful, high-energy talks grounded in decades of military leadership and real-world executive insight. Ideal for leadership offsites, board retreats, and high-level events.
Custom Workshops
Bespoke sessions designed to elevate leadership, sharpen decision-making, and strengthen trust at the highest level.
Trusted by leading organisations:




Whether you need strategic coaching, a keynote that moves the room, or a workshop that drives results — it starts with a conversation.

Lead Smarter. Lead Stronger.
I’ve written two books on leadership, strategy, and personal discipline — each drawn from the lessons of my military career and decades of working with senior leaders. They’re designed to challenge the way you think, sharpen your decision-making, and help you perform under pressure.
They’re not a substitute for coaching, but they’ve sparked conversations that have led to real change for leaders around the world.
