This executive brings a deep background in strategy, organisational design and transformation leadership, with extensive experience operating at executive and board level. Their career spans interim managing director roles, managing partner positions and programme leadership assignments, where they have consistently delivered structural change, commercial uplift and operational improvement. They are known for their ability to work across boundaries—integrating HR, IT, finance, procurement and frontline operations into coherent, outcome-driven operating models.

Well suited to interim managing director, transformation director or operating model leadership roles, this executive offers a strong blend of strategic thinking, execution discipline and stakeholder leadership. Their ability to stabilise organisations, redesign operating structures and lead people through change makes them particularly effective in complex environments where clarity, alignment and pace are critical to success.
