As a seasoned non-executive professional, I bring a fresh perspective and a wealth of experience in guiding organizations through digital and data initiatives. My board-level experience spans the charity and SME sectors, coupled with committee chair expertise in the private sector. I seamlessly integrate strategic, operational, digital, and data proficiency with robust financial oversight to effectively manage risk and facilitate the realisation of benefits inherent in digital & data strategies.
Renowned as a respected leader in the data industry, I am recognized for my extensive network and adeptness in analysing complex situations with a strategic mindset. As an individual known for generating innovative ideas and delivering solutions with a long-term focus, I have earned esteem from subordinates, peers, and superiors for my expertise in digital and data realms. My extensive professional background includes diverse experience across industries and sectors, with a global footprint encompassing Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
At the board level, my primary objective is to assist organizations in unlocking the full potential of their data. This involves contributing to the establishment of the strategic direction, ensuring the implementation of an effective digital strategy and enhancing overall organizational effectiveness and profitability. I achieve this by providing guidance to foster a culture characterised by capability, confidence, and curiosity. This, in turn, results in improved decision-making, innovation, and competitiveness, ultimately leading to increased success and growth. Some notable successes include:
