Who I Work With

I work with founders, leadership teams and organisations navigating growth, transformation and reinvention.

At Thinking Fearlessly, I combine strategic advisory, facilitation and executive coaching to help people and businesses create greater clarity, alignment, momentum and confidence during periods of change.

With over 25 years of experience building and scaling businesses, leading transformation and advising senior teams, I bring a commercially grounded and human-centred approach to leadership, growth and organisational performance.

My work spans leadership alignment, transformation, customer and brand experience, founder advisory and executive coaching — helping organisations move forward with greater focus, pace and connection.

I work across corporations, founder-led businesses and individual leaders, supporting people to think clearly, lead effectively and navigate complexity with courage and commercial grounding.

Individuals

Supporting individuals navigating reinvention, leadership growth, transition and personal transformation.

Through strategic coaching and mentoring, I help people create greater clarity, confidence and momentum in both life and career — particularly during periods of uncertainty, change or ambition.

My approach combines commercial insight, emotional intelligence and practical action to help individuals think clearly, make brave decisions and move forward with purpose and resilience.

Entrepreneurs

Supporting founders and entrepreneurial leaders from early-stage growth through to scaling and transformation.

As a founder, NED and strategic advisor who has built and sold businesses myself, I understand both the commercial and emotional realities of leadership, growth and reinvention.

I work with entrepreneurs on areas including:

• strategic clarity

• growth and positioning

• leadership development

• decision-making

• customer and brand direction

• resilience and high-performance thinking

• navigating complexity and change

Corporations

Helping leadership teams and organisations navigate growth, transformation and change.

Working across organisations including HSBC, Google, Finnair, Savills and founder-led growth businesses, I support leadership teams through alignment, communication, transformation and organisational development.

My work combines strategic advisory, facilitation and executive coaching to help organisations create greater clarity, momentum, customer focus and cultural alignment during periods of evolution.

Health, High Performance & Resilience

Sustainable performance starts with people.

My work focuses not only on growth and performance, but also on helping individuals and teams build resilience, clarity and healthier ways of operating during high-pressure periods of change and leadership.

In 2023, together with the talented young mom Marie-Julie Trijasson, I launched Land of Colourful Creatures—a wallpaper and fabric brand where storytelling meets art. Combining Marie-Julie’s eye for design with our shared vision, we’re bringing British luxury to life with a French twist, crafting pieces that invite connection, reflection, and inspiration in every space.

Land of Colourful Creatures is more than a business; it’s a creative platform that celebrates collaboration and the art of storytelling. We invite artists, designers, and storytellers to join us in creating something truly unique.

For all those who dream big and create boldly—let’s shape something extraordinary together.
