A smiling man with glasses and a beard, wearing a jacket, standing outdoors with a blurred cityscape and cloudy sky in the background.
Still not sure what I was trying to say with this hand gesture, but it seemed important at the time.

Position

I (39) work at the intersection of organisations, environments, and capital.

My focus is execution readiness. Not as a phase after strategy, but as a prerequisite for growth, transformation, and investment decisions.

Most ambition fails not because the vision is wrong, but because the systems expected to carry it cannot.

About me

Where ambition meets operational reality

Track record

For over a decade, I have worked with organisations operating at scale and under real constraints.

My experience spans Celine, IKEA, NEOM, Nobu, Dollar Shave Club, and Unilever, across strategy, execution, and operational reality.

Focus

I work on organisational systems behind complex environments, real estate platforms, and scaled operations.

I engage early, helping leaders and investors assess whether ambition is matched by execution capacity.

The goal is not better plans, but systems that can actually hold.

My current focus

Execution does not fail at the surface. It fails in the layers underneath.

When these layers are misaligned, execution degrades quietly.
When they reinforce each other, performance compounds.

  • Structure, governance, incentives, and decision rights.

  • How work actually flows. Pace, accountability, coordination, and friction.

  • What the organisation optimises for, explicitly and implicitly.

  • How leadership, safety, agency, and ownership are experienced day to day.

Engagement

I work selectively with founders, board members, and investors on questions of execution readiness and organisational risk.

If ambition, capital, and operational reality must align, I am open to a conversation.
