About me

I am native British, born and raised in London and worked most of my life in banking and financial services. Starting at the bottom in my early 20’s, I worked my way up the ranks to become a director of the bank by 38; joined the Board of VISA UK during the rollout of Chip & Pin and contactless payments, and later became Chief Executive of a prestigious third sector bank. Along the way, I worked with some of the most renowned financial institutions in the world, gaining invaluable experience and insights into leadership and career advancement.

Over the past five years, I've mentored people seeking advancement in their careers for over 5,000 hours. Many of them Masters, PhD students or senior corporate executives. Whilst the platform I used is ostensibly designed to teach a language, much of my interaction has been helping people to build their confidence, to remove the anxiety of having to present in front of colleagues or eliminate the fear of public speaking and presenting.

My goal is to help people unlock their potential, achieve their professional ambitions, and communicate with clarity and confidence. Whether you're looking to excel in your career, prepare for important presentations, or simply refine your communication skills, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
