WHO I AM ☆
I am a seasoned entrepreneurial leader with international experience, a senior strategic and digital communications consultant, a trusted local community champion, and former Mayor of Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England.
My mission is to connect UK and Global businesses and governments in London to drive growth and economic development across advanced and emerging markets. As the Founder and Director of London Business Network, I foster relationships across sectors, cultures, and borders to achieve this goal.
WHAT I DO ☆
1) Strategic Networking: Passionate about fostering economic development, I connect businesses and governments through premier networking, international trade, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) promotion events in London, online, and internationally.
2) Strategic and Digital Communications: Dedicated to helping businesses thrive in the digital age, I deliver integrated marketing, communications, and digital transformation services. From Web and Cloud solutions to IoT consultancy, my approach focuses on driving innovation, future-proofing businesses, and ensuring long-term success.
3) Strategic Governance: Committed to delivering strategic guidance and governance to startups, SMEs, and senior leadership teams that are navigating complex challenges in the private or public sectors, I offer Fractional Chairman, Non-Executive Director (NED), and Advisory services to help businesses and organisations drive growth and operational efficiency.
WHY IT MATTERS ☆
With extensive in-country experience in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Latin America, leading local SMEs and delivering services to international corporates and organisations, I have developed a nuanced understanding of the complexities of breaking into new markets and successfully navigating diverse cultural and economic landscapes.
Furthermore, my background in local government as a Councillor and Mayor in England, combined with a results-driven mindset, and unwavering optimism, are underpinned by exceptional communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills.
As a result, I bring an adaptive approach to addressing intricate challenges and crafting innovative solutions to pressing business and societal issues—ensuring tangible outcomes.
