I am a partner at Succession Plus. We are specialists in providing proactive, focused and strategic advice for SME owners to manage strategic Business Succession and Exit Planning.
I have enjoyed an interesting career history to date that embraces product and services businesses at all stages of their journey. I have worked in technology, telecoms, consumer electronics, payments, media and publishing.
I was CMO with The Panoply (now TPXimpact). TPXimpact is a digitally native technology services company, founded in 2016, with the aim of identifying and acquiring best-of-breed specialist information technology and innovation consulting businesses. The business was listed on AIM on 4 December 2018.
Before that, I was Chief Commercial Officer for Tungsten Network. Tungsten is a leading global supply chain enabler headquartered in the heart of London that specialises in e-invoicing.
Previous roles have included working with SMEs and large international businesses. Some highlights are Managing Director at the Emerging Payments Awards and the Prepaid Awards; Managing Director of Gx; Director of Sodexo Motivation Solutions; Global Marketing Director at BBC Worldwide; Product Group Marketing Manager with Sony UK.
My career started out in a completely different direction. My first two full-time roles were as a junior in an architects office and a civil engineering technician. Some of my drawings and designs were constructed and are still standing.
