As founder my focus is in International Assignments, working particularly with Luxury Beauty Brands, Skincare, Niche Fragrances and Colour Cosmetics in developing their business plans, market entry policy and infrastructure. I additionally provide a dedicated Advisory Service to assist all levels including Executive C-Suite as well as being highly experienced in the management of transformative programmes and M&A. Our strategic Consultancy specialises in luxury lifestyle and beauty brands including advising entrepreneurial, founder-led companies to help them transform their visions into viable and successful businesses. We offer extensive expertise in brand strategy, business model efficacy, new business plans, product and creative development, brand and digital marketing. As a skilled, entrepreneurially minded NED and interim C-Suite Executive, I am highly proficient in transforming and elevating businesses via proven international growth strategies. Through industry insight, commercial acumen and innovation, I have a recognised ability to create and deliver new business models that offer notable return to shareholders and investors. With a focus on Corporate Social Responsibility best practices add further benefits. A key area is working with Venture Capital funds to reinforce the value of their investments in SMEs through the creation of a global strategy integrating development, communications and governance.
