Change has been a constant throughout my career. With over twenty years’ experience in telecoms – both fixed and mobile – I’ve been involved in a lot of it. The industry I joined was dominated by international fixed voice revenue and mobile phones were for duchesses, directors and drug dealers. I spent ten years on an exciting international journey as mobile telephony took off, culminating in a major role in the creation of the world’s first mobile virtual network operator – Virgin Mobile.
At BT I developed a real time billing system and led the product team who created the first consumer fibre voice product. I’ve worked concepts for small residential mobile sites, spectrum strategy and improving mobile coverage on the rail network, ending up as a Strategy Director.
I’ve held roles outside telecoms too, including digital financial services, domestic energy efficiency and domestic security – always with firms who were seeking to disrupt established markets. More recently I was Chief Product Officer of an app development firm. I’ve never lost my enthusiasm for problem-solving and new opportunities. Having experience of multinational corporations, in-house innovation projects and start-ups I’m now working with a range of clients to help them create new opportunities and adapt to change.
Winsight isn’t an ordinary business consultancy. Our mission is to work with clients to identify priorities and help deliver change – not just talk about it. We recognise that small and medium sized companies often can’t justify the cost of recruiting highly qualified staff for special projects; we can supply exceptionally versatile and experience resource to quickly identify, understand and turbocharge innovation and change programmes, whilst offering excellent value because clients only pay for what they need.
If you have a strategic challenge – an opportunity, a threat or a great project you’ve never quite managed to resource – then please do get in touch. I believe we can help.
