I deliver measurable outcomes for businesses facing critical challenges, fast. From crisis recovery to digital and business transformation, I work with your teams to turn strategy into reality.
Different businesses, different needs.
Same commitment to results.
When you need an experienced associate to embed with client teams and deliver real outcomes.
When you need experienced hands to maintain momentum, lead transformation, or cover key roles.
When you need one experienced leader to drive transformation, handle crisis, or fill a critical gap.
My focus is always on measurable outcomes. Here's what execution looks like.
Designed and launched Aldi's Click & Collect during COVID crisis. Build & led cross-functional teams of amazing people, cut through red tape, and delivered a market-leading service at unprecedented speed.

Dig deep to find what you really need to achieve
I use the "5 whys" to move past surface requests and uncover the actual business need. We define specific, time-bound, measurable outcomes AND what happens if we fail. This clarity drives everything else.
What This Involves:
Audit current state and identify critical gaps
Before engaging teams, I audit what currently exists against what should exist. Where are the gaps in governance, planning, or capability that will prevent success?
What This Involves:
Share context and create energy for change
This is where transformation becomes possible. I translate the goal into a compelling vision - provide the Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG), establish how we'll work together, and secure the mandate to deliver.
What This Involves:
Service blueprint, plan, and execute together
Working with teams, we map journeys and analyse unhappy paths, identify improvements and maintain daily execution rhythm. This is where plans become progress through disciplined action.
What This Involves:
Measure and validate real business impact
We track progress against the specific goals set at the beginning. Regular measurement ensures we stay on track and can prove the impact of our work.
What This Involves:
Embed changes and build lasting capability
I don't just deliver and disappear. I ensure changes are sustainable, teams have the capability to continue, and create playbooks for scaling success.
What This Involves:
"Dan stepped in when we were facing closure within two weeks. He immediately identified our real problems - poor accounting, inefficient processes, and outdated systems. Within days he'd negotiated with HMRC and within months he'd reduced our debt by 90% and increased our trade counter sales by 80% YoY. Most importantly, he gave us back control of our business."
Former Aldi Director who's led 150+ person teams and delivered transformational results. I bridge the gap between strategy and execution, taking ownership of critical problems until they're solved. Whether crisis recovery, digital transformation, or interim leadership - I deliver measurable outcomes, fast.
