Experience

I was an associate partner at McKinsey, global head of strategy at The LEGO Group, and most recently a managing director at Publicis Sapient, leading strategy across Europe through the AI disruption of a large digital business while accountable for its results. That last part shapes how I work, because I rebuilt how I thought and worked while the outcomes were still mine.

Practice

My attention and focus are grounded in twenty years of meditation practice and a silent retreat each year, which is what lets me stay in an unresolved question long enough for something true to arrive.

Outside the work

I volunteer at FoodCycle in White City and I am a trustee at Standing Tall, which moves people out of homelessness through work and housing, and both are a fixed part of my week. Meditation, philosophy of physics and the emptiest places I can get to, the Highlands or the Nevada desert, are the same enquiry for me, into what the mind is and what is actually going on.
