Independent Advisor

Independent, outcome-focused advice to strengthen decision-making, manage risk, and build delivery confidence.


What I Do

Leadership in complex environments demands clarity, discipline, and rigour. I bring independent, outcome-driven advice to sharpen decision-making, manage risk, and ensure delivery confidence — especially in periods of reform, transformation, or high-stakes delivery.

I work alongside boards, advisory committees and executives to challenge assumptions, provide disciplined oversight, and ensure leaders stay focused on what matters most — outcomes.
