Zarir (Zed) Vakil

After cutting my teeth with multi-nationals, I entered the world of venture capital and private equity (but remained a good guy!) where I was for many years with some success. Then followed a number of senior commercial leadership appointments in the insurance, health and banking sectors where I was responsible for sales and market development. After the crash, I drew on my experience and network providing expertise on an NED, interim director and consultancy basis. Gun for hire if you like.

I am commercial, business improvement live wire, and have already completed a number of successful assignments in fast growth companies, including playing number two to a fire breathing 'Dragon' for six months!

I enjoy working with corporates and SMEs, assisting them with business improvement, sales development, change and transformation, general and executive management, and project management - drawing on my experience at the sharp end of large and small companies where results are everything.
