02 / What I’ve owned

Never one function.
Always a business.

Commercial growth

Distribution, lending, insurance, investments, partnerships and the revenue targets behind them.

Operating model

Customer journeys, CRM, contact centre, customer care and the service models that customers actually feel.

Transformation delivery

Technology, data, AI and product platforms mobilised around what the business needs to change next.

People & performance

Organisation design, leadership, governance and performance rhythms that give change somewhere to live.

“Digital was never the destination. Better business performance was.”

03 / Advisory

Senior capability,
before the headcount.

Through Eleven Consult, I work directly with leadership teams on business transformation, growth and operating-model questions that need both strategic clarity and hands-on follow-through.
