Where business meets society can create or destroy value. The relationship between business and society is evolving rapidly. I've spent three decades living, working, succeeding and learning in this space and enjoy sharing that knowledge to help other succeed
I have three decades of senior-level global experience building partnerships, creating bridges and developing programs and events. This includes building companies and training institutes, developing coalitions and partnerships and moving agendas and issues forward, often across complex cultural, sectoral and geographic boundaries.
I have a well-recognized global profile and diverse and comprehensive network, generated through decades of successful projects and assignments in more than 50 countries covering all continents.
During this time, I have developed partnerships and projects involving nation states, major corporations, international organizations, NGOs and a range of other public and private sector organizations.
My work has been recognized globally including as the first ever private sector project to win a World Bank global Development Innovation Award, as a Case Study for the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and as a consultation best practice by the Government of Northern Ireland. Projects and partnerships that I have developed and led have won numerous national and regional awards for innovation, excellence and impact.
In addition to the diverse and active network of contacts that spans all levels of business, government, development and civil society worldwide, my writings, lectures and other public activities have generated a profile that is recognized in many circles worldwide.
My career has afforded me the opportunity to work with and learn from people from a range of cultures, traditions and geographies worldwide.
