Ways we could work Together
Let's collaborate to build future-ready GCC leaders
36 years in corporate leadership, including 18 years at Deloitte, where I built and ran GCC operations at scale. Since 2023, I’ve worked independently as a coach, advisor and facilitator – and I partner with consultants, L&D firms, coaches and boutique advisories who work with the same GCC and enterprise leadership audience.
If you have clients who are navigating this shift, here’s what I bring to the table.
What I Offer
Masterclass - Future-Ready GCC Leadership
Built around the E-D-G-E framework, this runs as a focused 3-4 hour session as standard and extends into a 1 or 2 day workshop with deeper activity on each of the 4 E-D-G-E dimensions when the audience, objectives or available time call for it.
Works for a single GCC’s leadership team or a cross-company cohort.
E-D-G-E - The flagship leadership programme
A 3 to 4 month leadership development journey built around 4 dimensions: Enterprise Judgment, Directional Influence, Growth of Others and Experimentation for Value.
Includes an assessment, an alignment lab and 4 immersive modules.
What gets covered, dimension by dimension:
- Enterprise Judgment – Engaging meaningfully with AI and digital change, deciding what to understand versus what to delegate, moving from process optimisation to decision enablement
- Directional Influence – Influencing without authority, moving from status reporting to strategic dialogue, building executive presence in complex, cross-geography stakeholder environments
- Growth of Others – Shifting from an advice-giving reflex to a coaching mindset, building engagement and ownership across hybrid, multi-generational teams
- Experimentation for Value – Navigating ambiguity with confidence, balancing optimisation with experimentation, reframing persistent business challenges rather than just solving them
Culture & collective identity, running alongside the 4 dimensions:
Individual leadership growth only holds if the team around it changes too. In multi-day workshop formats, this shows up as its own thread – building trust and psychological safety, shifting the room toward a coaching-first culture, and working on what this specific leadership group stands for together. That last part is built through structured peer exchange and a shared identity statement the group drafts collectively, turning a set of separate functional leaders into one leadership team.
Modules extend into a client’s specific context when useful – business acumen and financial fluency for tech and services firms, deeper stakeholder and account-growth content for client-facing teams, additional leadership topics drawn from the wider body of work. The 4 dimensions stay the core; what sits around them is shaped by what the client actually needs.
GCC Leadership Assessment
A 20-question self-assessment that places a leader against 5 Leadership Identities and the 4 E-D-G-E Dimensions.
- Free report – generated instantly for the respondent the moment they complete the assessment, no cost
- Elaborate individual report – a deeper, personalised breakdown available as part of a contracted engagement, going beyond the free summary into what’s driving the pattern and what to do about it
- Cohort-level debrief – for teams, the assessment can be deployed across a group with manager-level input (if required) and the collective results debriefed live as part of a leadership workshop or offsite
Useful whether you’re referring an individual leader to take it standalone or building it in as the diagnostic front-end to a larger engagement. Click here for details.
Executive Coaching
1:1 Coaching and Group Coaching for senior leaders and high-potentials navigating a role transition or expanding mandate – typically 6 to 8 sessions over 4 to 6 months, delivered standalone or folded into a larger leadership programme. Click here for details.
GCC CXO Circle / Roundtable
I moderate and facilitate such closed, quarterly roundtables for GCC Heads – a couple of hours, by invitation only, no vendor agenda.
The room runs on candour that’s only possible because everyone in it holds the same job and carries the same pressures.

A natural entry point if you have GCC Head-level contacts who’d value a peer space rather than another programme.
Leadership Architecture & Talent Systems
For organisations building the underlying people systems, not just running a programme – competency frameworks, succession planning frameworks, and multi-level leadership academies spanning first-time managers through to senior directors.
Typically project-based, scoped to the organisation’s growth stage and current maturity.
Keynotes & Thought Leadership
Conclaves, leadership forums and facilitated sessions, backed by 6 published books on GCC leadership, creative leadership and career growth – including The Future-Ready GCC Leader and The Future-Ready GCC, both recognised references in the space.
Collaboration
The shape of the collaboration depends on what your clients need and where you’d like to stay involved. Common patterns:
- Co-delivery – I bring the frameworks and facilitation, you bring the relationship and delivery context, and we run it together
- Built into your programme – the Assessment, a Masterclass module or EDGE content sits inside a leadership journey you’re already running for a client
- Extended or customised – the core frameworks adapted with client-specific modules, or scaled up into a full leadership architecture engagement
- Referral – you introduce me to a client facing this kind of leadership gap; I take it from there, and keep you in the loop
For larger or multi-track engagements, I also bring in specialist collaborators to scale delivery without losing quality.
Why this Works for your clients
- Grounded in 36 years of practitioner experience, not borrowed frameworks
- GCC-specific – not a generic leadership programme retrofitted for the sector
- Backed by published IP (a named framework, a validated assessment, 6 books) – something your clients can engage with beyond a single session
- Flexible by design – a 3-hour session and a 4-month programme, from the same underlying thinking, extending to full leadership architecture work when the scope calls for it
Clients I’ve worked with include Hetero, ServiceNow, Pena4, Opella, MicroNsure, Aspiro, T-Hub, Coromandel, ISB, PayU, Daimler Trucks ICI, LTM/LTIMindtree.
Let's Start a Conversation
If there’s a client, a cohort or a leadership challenge on your mind, I’m happy to talk through whether this is a fit.
