In the early days of his career he specialized in analyzing operational and business performance, identifying opportunities and designing change programs to deliver sustainable improvements for large clients in most sectors across the globe. He spent the majority of his consulting life based in the United States having relocated there with his family from the U.K. to set up Celerant Consulting’s growth in the U.S. He held various positions such as Head of Chemicals Sector in the U.S. and Global Head of Analysis before focusing the rest of his career in executive leadership.
