Summary
Demonstrable expertise in leading national and international operational M&A, turnaround and profit improvement programmes across many sectors and countries. I have a track record leading and driving strategic agendas from concept to reality - embedding operational and cultural changes securing sustainable results.
An internationally experienced business leader, I leverage strong commercial acumen and strategic insight to transform vision into tangible results, underpinned by an ability to raise finance/investment and structure governance for enhanced performance and profitability.
For 25 years I have worked in senior line management positions in industry and consultancy and advisory roles in global professional service firms. I have operated in businesses across many sectors covering small and large, complex assignments in the UK and internationally.
I provide profit & performance improvement, operational due diligence/assessments, synergy identification and post-merger integration/carve-out assignments of businesses, along with operational restructuring advice and hands-on implementation for transactions/deals and for under-performing businesses - for Private Equity, Corporates, Banks, Investment Houses and Family Offices.
I have worked in countries across MENA, India, Europe, Americas, Scandinavia and I speak Russian, Serbian, Croatian, French & Cantonese.
During the last 10 years in particular, I have been personally investing in and acquiring businesses, now successfully exited, assuming Non-Executive Director roles in several companies. In addition, I have invested in other UK businesses where I have taken positions as Non-Executive Director.
Currently, I am CEO of Tookie, a Healthcare Innovation Business established in 2015. Tookie innovative products focus on security of central lines and devices – providing solutions for clinical and patient unmet needs - delivered in the form of wearable technologies. Tookie is now accredited as NHS Industry Ambassador, where Tookie’s Innovation & Adoption Pathway is now the Gold Standard/ Best Practice for SME's taking products from concept through to adoption in NHS.
I am now undertaking the Institute of Leadership & Management Level 7 Corporate Coach International (ILM CCI) Qualification, enabling me to embed an Executive Coaching capability into my already significant breadth and depth of capabilities.
