From complexity
To clarity

I help you find new ways to tackle your strategic challenges.

For more than 15 years, businesses, governments, and charities of all sizes have come to me when they’re faced with complex challenges related to impact, strategy, or stakeholders.

I design bespoke strategies and tools that reflect the unique context of each situation, while facilitating communities and coaching leaders.

I am as passionate as I am pragmatic—making the complex look and feel simple.

Don't take my word for it

What I bring to the table

The best outcomes occur where things intersect: where strategy meets co-design, where facilitation meets governance, where impact measurement meets coaching, where the executive suite meets community. So, depending on the project, I bring a blend of the following skills and experience:

Strategy and design
Facilitation and keynote speaking
Impact and measurement
User and customer journey
Coaching and advisory
Co-design and deliberative engagement
Governance and risk
Project and change management
Stakeholder engagement and experience
