 I'm a Professor of Innovation and Creativity at Kingston University.

 

I'm also an independent coach and consultant specialising in leadership development and organisational creativity. 

I have coached leaders from first management role to CEO/MD, and from SMEs to multinationals, with funding from the UK government as well as individual clients.

I have consulted for organisations including Linux Foundation, the Institute of Coding and Blockchain Research Institute

And I have delivered training around the world from Accra to Amman. 

I have written books on creativity and innovation, one of them a Radio 4 book of the week. ​I am currently writing a book on creative leadership for Cambridge University Press. 

I have also written for the Guardian and the Independent and broadcast on the BBC and CNN.

 

And I have given talks around the world from KPMG in London to Thompson Reuters in New York. 

I have an MBA and a PhD as well as postgraduate certificates in both executive and team coaching. 

I am a non-executive director of the Featured Artists Coalition and Enterprise Educators UK.

I previously worked in the music industry, spending several years as a session musician with Passenger before releasing four acclaimed albums - and performing at the Pompidou Centre and Royal Albert Hall - as one half of Grasscut.

I'm based in Brighton, on the UK south coast, but also work in London and online.

100% of my coaching clients say they would recommend me to a friend or colleague.
