Strategic Advisor and Board Director | Scale-Up Growth | Commercial Transformation | ESG Integration
I am seeking to contribute at board level as Non-Executive Director and strategic sounding board to Founders, CEOs and investors leading high-growth ventures through critical scale, international expansion and market repositioning.
Drawing on 25+ years of executive experience leading business growth, sustainability strategy and commercial transformation, I am interested in helping leadership teams bridge the gap between high-level ambition and board-ready execution. This could include advice on embedding sustainable practices into core business models so as to unlock capital, improve valuation and deliver a competitive edge for companies in biotechnology, hospitality, travel and professional services.
Key ways in where I add quantifiable value as a paid Board Advisor are:
Scaling and market expansion: navigating strategic alignment of organisations, their operational readiness and cross-cultural awareness for high-growth ventures in new regions or customer segments.
Executive governance and sounding board: providing objective, high-stakes counsel to CEOs and executive teams on strategy, board engagement and communications.
ESG and sustainability strategy: enabling decision-makers to move sustainability (or ESG) from a compliance burden to revenue-generating and value-added company strategy.

Brand and media authority: leveraging strategic communications and multi-channel engagement (including podcasting and executive presence) to amplify market authority, stakeholder trust and build strategic partnerships.
I am keen to engage with businesses seeking to accelerate value creation and expansion into markets in the UK and among the Caribbean diaspora.
