SME Turnaround Specialist.
“I guide SME business leaders through crisis & tranformation to sustainable success.”
12 years leading an SME through near-death to exit
CFA-trained, Swiss banking background
Professional coach, anchored in Samaritan values
You're Facing Something Difficult
Revenue pressure. Leadership friction. Strategic drift. Cash flow strain. Cultural breakdown. Or full crisis.
Most leaders wait too long because they tell themselves it'll turn around next quarter. But the businesses that survive are the ones whose leaders acted early - before all options disappeared.
Not sure where you stand? Take the 3-minute Crisis Recognition Assessment.
How I Can Help
SMEs are Britain's backbone, yet systematically underserved when crisis hits. You carry existential responsibility without corporate infrastructure. That's the gap I fill.
Financial rigour (CFA, Swiss banking) + Crisis leadership (12 years manufacturing turnaround) + Coaching capability (professional practice, Samaritan values)
These three don't often sit together. That's what allows me to manage the financials whilst transforming the entire business.
The work moves through four phases: Clarity, Stability, Transformation, Innovation. Most businesses need the first two urgently.

Chris Dunn, CEO of TDA Transitions & Learning
"In your consulting niche you have a lot to pass on - especially that 'first hand' lived experience. That sets you apart. There is no substitute for experience.
What do clients want from a consultant? It's simple: honesty. From this basis, delivered appropriately, you both have a better chance of being yourselves and collaboratively finding a way through."
