What do you love most about your job?
I'm naturally outgoing and curious as a person, so I love discovering and learning how industries and businesses work and meeting passionate founders.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've been working in start-up companies in senior leadership roles, or companies that I have founded for the past 20+ years. I'm used to managing my own time and being my own boss. After a brief stint back in the corporate world where I was managing hundreds of people, I realised that it wasn't for me. I started consulting by chance, not design, but one opportunity led to another.
Why should our clients choose you?
I provide a personalised service, with no hidden agendas. I really want to get to know your business and understand your ambition so I can add value, primarily through growth and scale. I've been in senior commercial roles all my life so its second nature for me think expansion not contraction. My knowledge is based on experience of both succeeding and failing. I've learnt from both and love to impart those learnings.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes both, online, remotely or face to face. For eight years I managed large international sales and marketing teams spanning 19 offices and tens of countries. Communication is everything for the success of the business. I prefer to talk and discuss rather then email but in either case deliverables must be set, clearly articulated and measured on the agreed time scale.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
From the beginning of last year one of my clients wanted me to go full time for a year to help them achieve a seed investment raise in excess of $1m, which we successfully completed. Since the start of Covid, I have worked fully remotely with the occasional face to face meeting.
Cost transformation
Transformation is about simplifying, refocusing and strengthening the systems and processes within your organization so you can pursue growth and provide a better customer experience.
Customer Experience
I'll provide the expertise that assists you in understanding what matters most to customers and equip your team to deliver delightful experiences while simplifying processes and eliminating costs.
Content Creation
Content Marketing is an essential part of a companies marketing strategy - "content really is king". I'll help you define who you need to talk to, set goals, and define what inventory will work for you, measure and repeat.
I also have experienced people at my disposal to deliver on all types of content creation.
Operations & Organisation
How much better faster could you do what you do? Across your entire supply chain, I can help you develop an end-to-end program to improve and maybe even transform your business operations. I'll emphasize the opportunities that maximize competitive advantage and strengthen the connection between operations and strategy.
Raising Finance
I have personally raised investment from Angels, Funds, Private Equity, Venture Capital and Public funds via IPO. The process is never easy especially here in NZ. I can guide you through the procedure, create full Informational Memorandums, Marketing IM's and construct Financial Business Plans.
Sales & Marketing Systems and Process
This is my expertise having managed multiple large domestic and international sales teams. I'll help you achieve sustainable, organic growth by putting your customers at the center of your company’s strategy.
I can propose ways to improve your employment process, how you manage the sales team, the sales pipeline and CRM. I can build a forecasting model, review your commission structure and importantly the culture that you foster.
Strategy
In an era of disruption, strategy is more important than ever. I don't pretend to have all the answers but I can walk you through a process, to ask the right questions, that will help you find your blue ocean or white space.
Sustainability
Business consulting allows me to invest time into my passion of caring for the environment. However the normal rules of business don’t stop when it comes to sustainability. Pragmatic solutions still matter. So does ROI. I can add my experience to helping you make better informed sustainable decisions.
I have a separate business that sells 'green' FMCG products into UK supermarkets. I'm happy to take a look at your product and model to see if we can offer this service.
Online and Social Media Marketing
Traditional advertising no longer cuts it! Using Google and social media networks will get you real results with modest budgets. I'm a shareholder and Chairman of an esports organisation. I have at my disposal a team digital natives; content creators and online marketing experts that can target the people you need to reach.
