Operationally minded and globally experienced, I'm a Crisis, Risk & Operations Director with over 20 years of leadership across five continents. I specialise in navigating complex, time-critical challenges, delivering high-impact results in high-pressure environments—from mega events and festivals to high-profile projects, consultancy & international deployments.
Known for orchestrating seamless operational delivery across culturally diverse teams & stakeholders, I bring deep expertise in planning, scheduling, logistics, safety and security & operational delivery.
My academic foundation - a BA in International Aid & Development and Counter-Terrorism, an MBA, and a Master's in Risk, Disaster & Crisis Management — equips me to integrate strategic insight with practical execution. That foundation is reinforced by a growing set of specialist credentials: Certified K&R Incident Manager, Certified Business Continuity Practitioner, and various functional HEAT, Medical & NGO-based security management certs. I bridge risk, readiness and resilience with hands-on operational delivery.
With travel & work experience in 125+ countries and over 10 years of local experience in the Middle East, I have deep GCC expertise — operating across government, security, sport & major events contexts, with direct engagement with security services, governments and international organisations. I'm trusted for my composure under pressure, ability to align complex cross-functional teams, and my commitment to getting the job done — efficiently, effectively and without compromise.
Building on my 20+ years experience, I’m currently undertaking a transition to crisis response and security consulting and actively building relationships in that sector. If you work in crisis response, security risk or resilience consulting — particularly across the Middle East or in global practices - I would welcome the conversation.
