“When all is said and done more is said than done.”

BACKGROUND

Nick has a unique background that combines experience as an army officer, ten years as a successful futures and foreign exchange broker with Merrill Lynch and sixteen years in senior organisational, leadership and people development roles in large global organisations. This extensive commercial experience and customer focus provides a strong link between organisational change and bottom line performance improvement.
Nick has been involved in creating and managing large scale organisational change, leadership and people development programmes and performance management processes and systems but his real expertise lies in embedding them in day to day operations. Most organisations have great strategies but fail to deliver them. Nick understands the theory but combines this with a proven ability to deliver and sustain them in highly complex organisations.
Nick holds an M.A. from Cambridge University and an MBA from London Business School.
