I graduated from Oxford Brookes in 2006 where I studied Economics & Business BA (Hons). I went back to Oxford Brookes in 2020 to study a postgraduate qualification in executive coaching and mentoring. I work as a consultant and executive coach running Engagement Consultancy. I work with not-for-profit and higher education institutions on audience engagement, strategic planning and learning & development. Prior to running my consultancy I worked in various senior leadership roles at University of Birmingham, Oxfam and the Royal Bank of Scotland. I lives with my wife and twin boys in Oxfordshire.

I graduated with a History degree from Brookes in 2014, and immediately took on an internship within the University's Alumni Relations team. Since then, I have stayed local to Oxford, other than a brief stint in London working for an international payments company. Most recently, I worked as the Partnership Manager for one of Oxford's largest international summer schools, Oxford Royale Academy, a role which involved regular and varied global travel. Like many others, I have found myself placed on furlough during the Covid-19 pandemic, but have kept busy by volunteering with a range of charities, including as a delivery driver for the local food bank.
