The Reality of Change in Business
Disruption is no longer a distant threat – it’s rewriting the rules of business at breakneck speed (McKinsey), workforces are more detached than ever (Gallup), and executives feel the heat to Reinvent now (PwC) – Reinvention is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a necessity.

Change is Accelerating
Not just in pace but in frequency of disruption. And it’s not random.
Democratised Digital & AI – Cloud-native platforms, low-code tooling and off-the-shelf AI have put innovation within reach of even the smallest players – crushing traditional barriers to entry and forcing incumbents to sprint just to stand still.
Globalised Complexity – Interconnected supply chains, remote work and 24/7 digital markets mean a hiccup in one region instantly ripples across dozens of others. What used to take quarters to unfold now happens in weeks.
Sky-High Customer Expectations – Today’s buyers expect frictionless, hyper-personal experiences – whether they’re ordering groceries, downloading an app or pitching your CEO. Meeting those demands requires lightning-fast adaptation.
Regulatory & ESG Pressure – New sustainability mandates, data-privacy laws and geopolitical shifts are rewriting the rulebook every few months. Staying compliant (let alone ahead) means building change muscle into your DNA.
The Response: Reinvention in Action
I don’t just react to change – I make it a competitive advantage through a three-pillar methodology:
Diagnose with Precision – Using Diagnostics and tried and tested frameworks, I map your hidden vulnerabilities – from culture gaps to process bottlenecks – so you know exactly where change will stick (and where it will snap).
Co-Create Adaptive Strategies – In facilitated leadership cohorts, we blend your domain expertise with proven reinvention frameworks. Together, we design roadmaps that balance bold ambition with guardrails for governance, measurement and accountability.
Embed for Endurance – Through team-by-team sprints and hands-on coaching, we build new muscle memory – process by process, habit by habit – so that resilience isn’t an annual workshop, it’s your everyday operating rhythm.
For Businesses Ready to Reinvent Before They’re Forced To
Whether you’re stuck in survival mode or operating just fine – for now – you know deep down that “fine” won’t last in a world that’s changing faster than your systems can keep up. Teams are stretched, foundations are creaking, and the future feels foggy. Through the Reinvention lens, I break past surface-level narratives to uncover what’s really going on, bridge critical information gaps, and strengthen the foundations of your people, processes, and strategy. This work isn’t just about fixing the present – it’s about building a business that’s ready for whatever comes next.
For Individuals Who Feel Like They’re Living the Wrong Life
You’ve kept going. You’ve done what was expected. And from the outside, it probably looks like you’re doing just fine. But inside, something’s off – like you’re quietly living a life that was never really yours. Life is long, and hard doesn’t have to be forever. Through the lens of reinvention, I help you break things down, confront the stories that no longer serve you, and rebuild something that feels true. It’s not easy – but it’s the first step toward a life with real meaning and direction.
A few things I’m great at
Kodak and Nokia watched their worlds collapse by clinging to the past; I did the opposite – breaking down completely and rebuilding myself as a Certified Reinvention Practitioner, so you get guidance forged in real transformation.
Lived Experience
I don’t just talk about transformation – I’ve lived it, fully breaking down and rebuilding myself as a Certified Reinvention Practitioner – so you can trust my firsthand expertise to drive real, lasting change. Read more.
Data-Driven, Systems Thinking
I track the right metrics at every stage – early-warning indicators to anticipate disruption, design effectiveness measures to validate roadmaps, and implementation impact scores to ensure change sticks – while always viewing outcomes through the lenses of people, processes and systems.
Engaging Facilitation & Storytelling
Because nobody ever paid attention to a dull story, I use sharp humour and vivid metaphors – beer-bottle epiphanies and Lego-building analogies – to turn complex concepts into unforgettable narratives that drive teams straight into action.
Why Choose Me
What sets me apart is an innate gift for reading and rallying people, paired with a systems-thinking mindset that sees whole organisations, not just isolated parts. I was once told by a boss to stop trying to be good at the things I was rubbish at – and double down on what I’m naturally great at. So I doubled down on the people, then sharpened those strengths through rigorous study with the Reinvention Academy and executive programmes at Cambridge, Oxford and LSE.

About me
A single moment of self-awareness showed me how much real change I needed.
For 15 years I was living the script – doing what I thought I needed to be doing, just like everyone else: climb the corporate ladder, hit the targets, rinse and repeat. On the outside, it looked like success. On the inside, I was hollowing out. Then reality caught me on the banks of the Zambezi River when a slogan on the back of a beer bottle stopped me cold. It was time to stop letting change steer my course.
Fueled by that wake-up call, I decided to break down everything I thought I knew and rebuild from the ground up – so I became a Certified Reinvention Practitioner, immersing myself in the very frameworks that drive lasting transformation. Today I apply those tools – Titanic Diagnostics, ToTo Matrices and hands-on coaching – to help organisations anticipate disruption, co-design bespoke roadmaps, and embed the people, processes and systems that turn chaos into opportunity in our VUCA world.
