      We have recently opened offices in the U.K and Ireland, and are expanding into the online training and development sector. More info to follow. I am expanding the reach and the capabilities of Global Consulting Network - a virtual business performance consulting and leadership coaching company, to serve clients across the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Central Asia regions. I have the pleasure of web conferences with clients from Azerbaijan to Australia, often all on-line at the same time. I also enjoy crusading for 'value-for-money' consulting service delivery which our virtual technologies can offer. Show less

    • General Manager Organization Development
      • Feb 2008 - Dec 2009

      Interim Leadership Assignment to lead organization restructure and renewal of strategic direction. I had the pleasure of working with a great group of people to shape a new business structure from disparate and misaligned entities. I led this process through empowered working groups (17 in all), across diverse locations from Kazakhstan to Qatar. The evidence of the success of this venture is manifest on the company's website, and I would also say in the company's share price today. I continue consulting with them today. Show less
