If you’re leading, coaching, supporting others, or shaping culture—you already know that complexity isn’t something to “solve.” It asks us to stay curious, think systemically, and make progress in ways that are grounded, ethical, and human.

That’s where I work best.

I’m a long-time coach, facilitator, and designer of leadership programs—but at heart, I’m a curious person and a constant learner. That curiosity has shaped every stage of my career—from my time as Managing Director of a global IT risk company, where we tested source code and evaluated the security of complex IT systems, to my current work helping leaders and organisations grow capacity for wiser decision-making and more adaptive cultures.

Over the years, I’ve worked at the intersection of human insight and organisational complexity—supporting senior leaders, technical experts, educators, and mid-to-late career professionals through coaching, cohort development, and strategic program design. My work draws on adult development theory, action research, and a contextualist philosophy that prioritises usefulness over perfection.

As co-founder of Aberrant Learning and creator of the AMPLIFY Wisdom Coach Development for Experienced Executives program, I support those ready to bring their lived experience into coaching, leadership, and culture change that genuinely matters.

And yes—I play music too.

There are two music videos on this site. They’re not an afterthought—they’re part of how I stay connected to presence, rhythm, and creative expression. Music reminds me that growth—like good leadership—is relational, responsive, and often improvised.
