Executive coaching and mentoring

Big remit. High stakes.

And no one to think it

through with.

I partner with retail and FMCG organisations to provide executive coaching for senior commercial leaders - giving them a confidential space to navigate complexity, gain clarity and make better decisions.



Before I coached, I ran a $450 million business with 850 people. So your leaders get someone in their corner who has lived the commercial realities they are facing.

I work with senior commercial leaders and with the organisations investing in them. Before I coached, I ran a $450 million business with 850 people. So we spend less time explaining the context, and more time on what actually matters.

What you can see, and what sits underneath it

Senior leaders don't always look like they're struggling. They're still delivering, making decisions and carrying the expectations of the role. But sometimes, what's happening underneath starts to show up in ways that affect the wider business

What you may be seeing

  • A capable leader who has plateaued since stepping up
  • Decisions escalating that should be settled a level below
  • Nobody obvious to promote when a senior role opens up
  • Underperformance in one team that everyone can see, but nobody has dealt with
  • Someone you would struggle to replace who has quietly gone flat

What may be sitting underneath

  • The role has grown faster than their way of working, and they don't have anyone inside the business to properly think it through with.
  • They haven't yet built the confidence or judgement to let go when the stakes are high.
  • Under pressure, getting the work done wins over developing the person who could eventually take it on
  • The difficult conversation keeps getting pushed down the list.
  • They're still performing, but they're carrying something they don't have a space to properly work through.

The difficult conversation keeps getting pushed down the list.

Someone you would struggle to replace who has quietly gone flat

Coaching for my team


For CEOs, MDs and people leaders looking at someone who's stepped up, stretched, or too valuable to lose. Including how sponsorship works, and exactly what you will and won't know.

Coaching for Organisations

I've sat in the chair you're sitting in

Before becoming an executive coach, I spent more than twenty years leading commercial businesses where results mattered every day. As Managing Director of ALDI Western Australia, I led a $450 million business and more than 850 people through growth, operational complexity and significant commercial challenge.


I've been the leader making difficult decisions, navigating competing priorities and carrying the weight that comes with the role. I've also been on both sides of coaching, investing in coaching for leaders in my teams and experiencing it myself. I know the value of having a trusted space to step back, challenge your thinking and work out what to do next.



So when you invest in coaching for one of your senior leaders, you get a coach who understands the environment they're operating in, not just the theory of leadership.
