Bio
Experienced business mentor for leaders facing new roles, difficult decisions and business growth challenges.
Taking on a new leadership role, navigating change or facing difficult business challenges can be demanding. The responsibility for making decisions often rests with you, yet finding someone independent to speak with openly, test ideas, and explore difficult questions is not always easy.
I work with Managing Directors and senior executives to provide that confidential space, combining constructive challenge, practical advice and extensive business experience to help you think clearly, build confidence and make better decisions.
My background brings together technology and business leadership. Having held senior international executive roles, including Global Head of Sales Strategy & Operations at Nokia, I have led growth, strategy and transformation programmes across more than 56 countries and run international P&Ls - I know what it takes to build a successful business. Today, I apply that hard-won experience to the realities of leadership in SMEs.
My mentoring is tailored to you and your specific circumstances. - It's customised and is not a check-box formula. Whether you are establishing yourself in a new role, managing competing priorities, addressing underperformance, developing your leadership style or seeking new avenues for growth, we will focus on the challenges that matter most to you and your business.
My style is open, honest and pragmatic. I listen, ask challenging questions and offer experienced advice to help you get to the right outcome. The aim isn't to tell you what to do, but to bring a broader perspective, strengthen your judgement, and help you turn insight into practical action that improves performance.
Here's what one of my clients said;
"When things didn’t go to plan, Malcolm was there to offer a sounding board and an objective, experienced perspective that soon got things back on track. Turnover and profit increased significantly each quarter, and the barriers to growth started to peel away, inspiring me and the team with a new lease of life."
