I’ve known John for over 10 years. As well as sharing a passion for rugby (including coaching our sons at the same club over a number of years) we both share a passion for supporting people in their roles as leaders and managers in organisations and business, helping them to be successful.

So who is this man?

His extensive senior business and people management experience covers operations, sales and general management, and he has a wide international experience in South East Asia, USA and Europe.
