My Personal & Professional Pathway 
My early career was established within the finance and accounting industry. I quickly advanced to leadership positions within the top 100 companies mainly within medium to large sized organisations. As my leadership career matured, these roles grew to include large private and public sector organisations.
After ten years in finance and accounting leadership roles, I subsequently entered the consulting industry and naturally gravitated towards helping leaders in organisations who were undergoing change and transformation situations. These contracts included re-engineering the business or divisions thereof, implementing growth strategies and, transformation projects of varying types and intensity. Many of these projects included assisting IT, Finance and Accounting, Logistics, Marketing and Sales units.
While engaged in these projects, I came to realise that leaders often required more than consulting assistance: they sought out and benefitted from an approach which included a hybrid of consulting, coaching and mentoring. This led to my transition from adopting a pure consulting approach to one which offered an integration of consulting and coaching. This approach has been applied with great results in various projects I have undertaken within the past 10 years. It is the approach adopted in my current role as CEO of Centre for Integrative Leadership.
My Current Role: CEO - Centre for Integrative Leadership
I am currently the CEO for The Centre for Integrative Leadership, an organisation specialising in helping executives, managers and supervisors develop winning strategies to build successful and effective businesses. The Centre offers Leadership and Development training workshops and consultation based assistance for organisations seeking to implement an Integrative Leadership Strategy in their business.

It is central to meeting the ever-increasing challenge of organisational disengagement which so prevalent in virtually every area of business today creating many challenges for those trying to obtain good results from their human capital.
