About Me

I am a Transformation & Turnaround Executive (COO / CRO / CEO), restoring control & scaling growth in Businesses in regulated & volatile environments. I have long experience in Energy, Telecoms, Traditional Media & Digital. I am a Board-Level Operator. I am typically appointed when growth stalls, systems lose control, or regulatory & operational complexity begins to erode performance. For 20 years, I have led organizations facing volatility, margin pressure, and fragmented execution, where conventional growth approaches fail.
