I am a specialist consultant to the international membership

sector, with a background in senior leadership roles across

UK-based professional and trade bodies. I bring more than two

decades of experience in nonprofit strategy, governance, and

leadership, including 15 years as a CEO and executive leader,

and since 2016, as an independent advisor to over 150 clients

globally.

 

I work in partnership with boards and executive teams to

co-create strategic plans and operational frameworks that

are ambitious, agile, and grounded in real-world application.

My consulting style is participatory, values-led, and outcomes-

driven. I help leadership teams navigate complex decisions

with clarity, providing structured facilitation, practical advice,

and a strong bias for action.

 

As a Fellow of the Society of Association Management, I champion transparent governance, courageous leadership, and decision-making that builds trust and accountability. I am also co-host of Association Transformation, a podcast exploring global issues in association management and nonprofit leadership.
