What I can do for you
Thought Leader
I have written three books with one more on the way.
I write about leadership, retailing, consumer economy, and technology, especially AI, and the powerful future it represents to all industries. I am interviewed by the media frequently.
I also have a weekly newsletter called The Business Brief, which is published only on LinkedIn. You can subscribe for free.
Advisor
Through my own company, Inception Retail Group, I help companies understand their journey and investors the dynamics of the sectors they are interested in.
My experience includes all consumer-facing businesses, strategy formulation, business development, and rebuilding of brands that want to stay relevant for the long game.
I’ve held C-level roles and as a board director. I help leaders and their organizations.
Keynote Speaker
My work experience includes leading for-profit multinational companies as a CEO and Country Manager in the retail and restaurant sectors, manufacturing, and hydro utilities, as well as liaising with the Government.
I offer unique perspectives on competition and the future of consumer businesses in this fast-changing AI landscape.
I like to say that I bring Real-World Experience to the conversation.
When I wrote my first book, “The Last Retailer Standing - Relevant Leadership Relevant Brand,” it was a message about the errors of retailers from Senior Management to Board Rooms. The Second book, The Great Transition - The Emergence of Unconventional Leadership, was about what it will take for leaders to win and how they need to change themselves and their organizations. The third book, The New Bricks & Mortar - Future Proofing Retail, is about four forces driving change.
