WORK HISTORY
SVP - Global Consumer Business @Cambridge Consultants
I have responsibility for sales, and business growth through key accounts and strategic marketing for the target market verticals where I believe we will have the greatest impact. My team invests in thought leadership and technology capabilities to enable us to stay at the cutting edge and to best deliver real commercial value for our clients. We work across a wide range of consumer products/ digital services at all stages of innovation from front end concept generation, tech strategy, prototyping, design & development, through to transfer of robust designs into manufacture and scaling implementation of services. We focus on sectors where there is significant technical innovation potential including CPG/FMCG, consumer electronics and appliances (including sports & fitness) and connected spaces (e.g. theme parks). My commercial team work closely with our programme management and technical colleagues to put together the right team to deliver on projects for clients. We draw on the skills from across our 750 strong team of engineers, designers, consultants and scientists, who bring significant depth in fluidic delivery, novel sensor systems, AI/ML, robotics, RF communications, and digital services. I continue to have personal business development impact particularly focused on North America. This includes working with new & existing clients to build long lasting relationships, I drive inbound and outbound sales, contract negotiation and I have commercial responsibility for the delivery of projects. As part of the Leadership team for our Industrial, Consumer, Energy division (one of 3 divisions at CC) I work on long term strategy for the division as we scale, and I’m particularly focused on development the commercial skills of the wider team. I was based in Boston from 2015 to 2020 after I led the relocation to Boston of a small team from my division to enable us to better serve clients in the North American business.
