What I do

I do commercial strategy, market intelligence and product development.

I focus on data, tech and cybersecurity in government and the wider public sector, regulated industries and civil society. I’m deeply interested in security and trust, online harms, risk, regulation, and social impact.

I can work with you in these ways:

• Embedded in your team, working day-by-day to build, test and iterate things with you
• As a consultant, carrying out a focused advisory or research project
• As a non-executive director, providing independent expertise, support and challenge
• As a mentor or coach, bringing my executive leadership experience to help you achieve your business goals.
