When your strategy needs defining, or your programme needs rescuing. I bring clarity to your hardest decisions, and own the delivery end to end.
Twenty-five years on the problems organisations could not resolve themselves.
A FTSE 100 telecommunications group needed a finance and regulatory-reporting transformation its incumbent advisor could not deliver. I designed it, and the programme went on to become a published industry case study.
A FTSE 100 media and advertising group’s regional ERP implementation was failing. Brought in to rescue it, I took command, revised the approach, and brought the programme home on time and on budget. On the strength of that, the board asked me to course-correct the group’s global shared-services strategy and business case.
A consulting firm in APAC wanted products that would run alongside its advisory work and generate annuity revenue. I designed, built and ran the innovation hub that delivered it, from concept through to live operation.
Eleven of those years at EY, leading their digital and emerging technology consulting practice across the UK and APAC.
Founder
I spent eleven years at EY leading innovation and transformation for Fortune 500 clients, building new ventures, designing operating models, and helping organisations move from strategy into something that actually delivers. Across a 25-year career spanning media, financial services, government, energy, telco, and retail, with a background in military instruction and coaching underneath all of it.
I work with pre-revenue startups and listed company boards, early-stage founders and enterprise leadership teams. MultipleWorks exists to work alongside them, senior-led and hands-on, focused entirely on your outcome.
The work spans three areas. The constant across all of them is the same: senior judgment on the hard, consequential problems, owned from decision to delivery.
01 / Artificial Intelligence
Foundations that turn generic AI into institutional capability you can govern and defend: what it knows, what it is permitted to say, and a record of what it actually said. Built to the bar that risk, audit and the regulator will set. For the executive making enterprise AI decisions.

The operating machinery that turns innovation ambition into shipped commercial outcomes. Three foundational artefacts, three maturity levels. For the innovation function under pressure.

Senior, hands-on support for founders building their own ventures, pre-seed to Series A. Cash terms, founder calendar, no equity by default.

Writing on ventures, AI, and how organisations work.
Sound strategy and competent delivery, and the programme still fails, in the gap between them that no one owns. The intent drifts as it crosses the handover from the people who set it to the people who must deliver it, and closing that gap comes down to one person held to the outcome.
