Poole, GB

As Managing Director of an employee owned financial services business, I steward long term value, aligning commercial performance with our EOT principles, client trust, and a strong, inclusive culture. Integrity and accountability sit at the heart of my leadership.With 25+ years in operational leadership (formerly Chief Operating Officer), I am skilled in negotiation, communication, and people development. I build engaged, high performing teams and ensure governance, risk and delivery standards reflect the responsibilities of an FCA regulated environment.In practice, that means transparent decisions, clear priorities, and consistent execution. Strengthening systems, enabling innovation, and creating the conditions for people to flourish. As MD, I act as a bridge between Trustees, the Leadership Team, and employee owners, keeping us aligned to our values while delivering excellent outcomes for our clients.Always happy to connect with EO leaders, financial planners, and governance professionals.
