Operator-led leadership built on real business experience.
I work with owner-led, investor-backed and international businesses that need structure, commercial discipline and experienced leadership at critical stages.
My career spans banking, finance, entrepreneurship, international expansion and hands-on manufacturing. I founded my first company while at university and built it into an international group with approximately €5 million turnover. Over the years, I have personally established companies in California, Hong Kong, Germany and the UK, giving me first-hand experience of building and operating across different legal, commercial and cultural environments.
Today I continue to build and operate businesses in Scotland, bringing current, first-hand operating experience to selected strategic, interim executive and operating-partner assignments.
