ABOUT PAUL JAMESON

Chief Commercial Officer | Managing Director | Strategy & 0-1 Growth | Building Scalable Operations from the Ground Up | £500M+ Budget Management | PE & IPO Experience. I’ve spent 20 years bridging the gap between a big idea and the actual, messy work of making it happen. My career didn’t start in a boardroom, it started in high-pressure kitchens. That early experience as a Head Chef taught me two things that still drive me today, you’re only as good as your last service, and even the most brilliant menu fails if the kitchen isn’t organised to deliver it.I’ve traded the chef’s whites for the C-Suite, but that doer mentality hasn\'t changed. Whether I’m managing a £580M organisational spend or architecting a global supply chain for a post-IPO company, I focus on building systems that don\'t just look good on a slide deck, they actually work under pressure.What I bring to the table:The 0-1 Specialist: I have a habit of identifying unmet needs and building the frameworks to solve them. From pioneering the UK’s first social housing fibre-to-the-home project to launching an Energy Co from scratch, I thrive in the ambiguity phase where strategy needs to become a reality.Commercial Rigour: As an MCIPS Professional, I’m obsessive about the numbers. I’ve delivered £18M in strategic savings not by just cutting costs, but by redesigning how contracts and categories are managed to drive long-term value.Operational Expertise: I’ve scaled D2C channels into the US and UK, revamped global logistics, and led large-scale business transformations. I know how to right-size risk so it doesn\'t stifle growth, but keeps the wheels on.People-First Leadership: Elected Chairman of the Senior Leadership Team for three years running. I believe in high-performing cultures built on accountability, transparency, and a healthy dose of humour. Leadership is about unifying a board around a \"North Star\" and then getting out of the way so the team can execute.I’m at my best when things are moving fast and the stakes are high. I don\'t just want to manage a process; I want to transform it, scale it, and leave it better than I found it.If you’re looking for someone to turn a complex vision into a profitable, scalable operation, or if you just want to talk shop about global supply chains and growth strategy, let’s connect.
