About me
I'm a multi-award-winning, Harvard Business School-qualified growth & strategy specialist with over 14 years' experience helping 250+ SMEs to grow and perform better, as well as 18 years' experience starting, growing and building multiple businesses of my own.
I offer this knowledge, experience and skillset to SMEs by identifying the best routes for growth and improvement, and working with you and your team to plan and action everything that needs done using the resources you already have.
Recent achievements
From a decliner to a disruptor
Led a software company out of a 5-year decline and into profitability by aligning the product to the needs of the market, developing multiple new income streams and establishing competitive edge through its pricing model.
Better growth, better performance.
I help SMEs to grow properly.
Growth is not about flooding the funnel with new customers or leads and it's not about finding the quickest wins, it's about strategically improving and structuring all areas of a business to put it in the best possible position to grow well both now and in the future.
Whether your business is growing, stagnating or declining, the first step is always preparing and priming the business for growth; making your business scalable, manageable and organised, and clearly defining its vision, purpose and strategic direction.
And this is always done using resources you already have - no need to fund raise, no need to hire.
I know SMEs.
Since 2004, I have started, grown and sold multiple business of my own and have held dozens of senior management roles within SMEs. Since 2009, I have worked with over 250 SMEs on growth and strategy, as well as with consultants and marketing agencies who need support with SME clients. And I have worked with industry and government bodies to improve standards and conditions for the SME world across multiple sectors.
I know from first-hand experience the challenges that SMEs face and I know what really works and what doesn't.
It's this vast, front-line experience that helps me to spot and solve complex challenges before they arise, as well as identify unique new opportunities that your business can profit from.
Closer working, better results.
SMEs need to see results by getting things actioned and done, they need to tackle challenges quickly and have a constant eye on new opportunities, and they need to do this within limited resources. This is achieved by close, partnership-style working.
I'm not from the corporate, financial or academic world - you won't receive 90-page reports of meaningless theories that'll be put aside and unactioned, and I'm not someone who sits in the background and consults on irrelevant areas or things you already know.
I'm from the SME world and I'll roll my sleeves up and directly work with you and your team to get things done in a strategic and ambitious way.
Let's chat!
Whether you're looking to explore how we can work together or just want to talk through challenges that affect your business, I'm always happy to chat!
Based in Fife, working with SMEs throughout Scotland and the United Kingdom.
