Strengthening board discipline, performance and oversight

Governance isn’t about box-ticking; it’s about creating clarity, rhythm, accountability and support that drive performance. As both an active board member and an advisor, I help boards build structures that enable confident decision-making and long-term value creation.

My approach balances strategic ambition with commercial realism, fostering boards that challenge constructively and govern with purpose.

Services / Focus areas:

• Board Effectiveness: Independent and participatory reviews, improved cadence, and governance rhythm.

• From Within: Serving as a contributing director to strengthen governance and C-Suite support from inside the boardroom, not just beside it.

• Governance Discipline: Charters, committees, and frameworks that clarify roles and responsibilities.

• Leadership Alignment: Supporting Chairs, CEOs, and management teams to foster trust and productive challenge.

• Risk & Compliance: Bringing structure and accountability to how boards oversee risk, assurance, and resilience.

Board strengths:

• Governance discipline grounded in real-world execution.

• Technology insight and risk oversight.

• Regional and international perspective.
