Hard Compass - Founder

I've spent over 30 years in senior leadership roles, including a long career at PwC where I led large international teams, shaped strategy across the UK and internationally, and worked closely with boards and executive teams. My experience includes:

~ leading large, multi-country businesses and leadership teams

~ shaping and delivering strategy at scale

~ coaching senior partners and leaders

~ working with boards, public bodies and social impact organisations

Throughout my career I have been deeply involved in social impact and inclusion work, including advisory and governance roles in the public and social sectors.

I'm a father of 4 boys, have lived in Ireland, the UK, and the US, cycled across America, cycled across Russia, climbed Kilimanjaro, and I never tire of meeting new people, finding out about their lives and our connections in common across society. 

I bring all that experience into Hard Compass’s coaching and advisory work — supporting leaders who want to think clearly, lead with integrity, and make decisions they can stand behind.
