In this role, he was responsible for developing and implementing Policies, Processes and Programmes, across the full spectrum of International Group businesses. The key objective here was identifying and developing management and leadership talent for succession planning, growth and change. More recently he has adapted these skills to small and medium-size businesses.

His academic background in Human Resources is complemented by an MBA from Henley. In addition, he is a Graduate in Speech and Drama from the Royal Academy of Music, which is used to great advantage in much of the behavioural development side of his work.
