Most of my career has been as a management consultant working in large firms – firstly Ernst & Young and subsequently Accenture.  I have been a freelance consultant for the last ten years, but still work with Accenture, primarily in the public sector.

With a background in Operational Research, my consultancy work has always had a strong element of analysis and evidence-based conclusions and recommendations.  Over the last three decades, I have led major studies on organisation, strategy, performance management, process redesign, information technology and other functional areas – for most central government departments and in the NHS, local government and the police service.

I am a founder member of the Company, having been involved in the formation of the Guild and then in the first wave of Liverymen.  In addition to attending many social and fundraising events, I have been involved extensively in the pro-bono activities of the Company, undertaking some mentoring assignments, a number of consultancy assignments, and more recently as a member of the pro-bono consultancy panel.  Currently I lead our relationship with the Impetus Trust, which supports a portfolio of charities for which Company members have undertaken a number of pro-bono assignments.

I have also facilitated the development of a new Strategy for the Company for the period 2010-15.
