About

Management Consultant

Most of my working career has been spent in Management Consulting in the realm of Technology. I’ve supported the delivery of several large transformation projects with a focus on delivery and programme management. Some of my key achievements include establishing and overseeing governance for a portfolio of projects worth £30m, managing resourcing and finance for an account of over 100 staff across 3 clients, and delivering the technology aspects of a prison nationalisation.

I’ve also worked on strategy, advising organisations on transformation strategies, business cases, and spending reviews.

Policy Advisor and Writer

I write Full Steam Ahead on Substack on topics such as planning, infrastructure, and transport, including with Looking for Growth. I’ve contributed towards essay collections, such as The Entrepeneurs Network’s Operation Innovation, Stripe’s Works in Progress magazine, and I am published on CapX.

My application showcasing the UK’s Machinery of Government is available online.

Freeman and Liveryman

I have the Freedom of the City of London and am a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Coopers’. The Company supports the governance of the City of London, and is an active participant in educational and charitable endeavours across the City, including at the Whitechapel Mission, where I have volunteered at the morning breakfast service.

It also works to celebrate and maintain the Coopering trade across the country, including at the annual Cask Race in Guildhall Yard.

School Governor

Since late 2025, I have served as a School Governor at the secondary school that I attended and was Captain of; The Coopers’ Company and Coborn School, a mixed-entry secondary school and sixth form college in Upminster. It’s an exciting time for the school and it’s nearly 500-year history as it forms part of the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme.

Pannelist

I’ve always been a believer in civic participation and served on the Transport for London Youth Panel for a decade, many years as its Chair, where I was responsible for shaping the panel’s agenda and ensuring that young people’s voices are heard. We hosted over 1000 young Londoners through our annual Youth Participation Days and held an inquiry at City Hall.

During 2023 and 2024, I was a member of the LLDC Community Review Panel, where I worked with fellow residents of the Olympic Park to provide developers with our views and recommendations for improving planning proposals within the LLDC planning area. I believe new developments can be attractive, sustainable, and highly liveable, and on the panel, we did our best to make that so.
