Managing Director
Where has your passion for performance come from?
As a swimmer, I was continuously driven to become Olympic Champion and sustain my world number one ranking. When I retired from competitive sport my first job was Head of Talent Development for British Swimming. The experience compounded my view that performance should be considered in its broadest sense. It’s not just about working harder or swimming faster, it requires a combination of inputs.
What gives organisations the winning edge?
I think it’s a combination of four things: • A clear strategy that is shaped and owned by the whole company • A leadership and management culture that treats employees as adults • Not being afraid to challenge what the organisation does and giving clear feedback • Not just thinking about innovation but actually doing it.
