    I'm not your average career coach.

    Most career coaches have never recruited for a senior role. I have.

    • No Never sat in a boardroom
    • No Guessing what recruiters want
    • No Generic templates
    • Yes Led high-stakes executive searches
    • Yes Was the recruiter making the call
    • Yes Insider knowledge, zero guesswork

    How I got here

    20 years of insight from both sides of the hiring table.

    Phase 01

    The Recruiter Years

    20 years leading high-stakes executive searches across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. I was the one making the call on who got the $200k+ roles.

    Phase 02

    The Realisation

    I saw strong executives miss shortlists again and again. Not because they lacked the experience, but because their resume and LinkedIn profile did not show it. Recruiters move fast. If your value is hard to read, you are passed over.

    Phase 03

    The Move to Career Strategy

    I left recruitment to work for the candidate instead of the client. I also trained as a Master NLP Practitioner. I use it when a senior leader is stuck on a big career decision.

    Phase 04

    The Strategist Era

    10 years running my own practice full-time, with more than 5,000 resumes written. Today most of my clients are CFOs, finance and commercial leaders, and executives moving into board roles.
