Connecting people, operations and commercial opportunities to deliver measurable results.
My background spans automotive commercial leadership, account management and regional operations. I combine a track record of measurable results with a hands-on curiosity for turning new ideas into something real.
Selected examples of how I grow accounts, lead teams, improve operations and build new ideas.
Progressed from a Top 10 North American field sales performer to Studio Manager. Led through change, aligned vehicle inventory with customer demand, and helped deliver strong commercial and customer experience outcomes.
Identified a recurring transportation gap, helped secure ongoing Ocean Spray business, then coordinated customers, facilities and carriers to execute the increased volume.
Compared direct-to-consumer and dealership experiences firsthand, delivering strong individual results while learning how pricing, approvals and delivery shape customer confidence.
Defined and built a working children's storytelling alpha, combining original characters and worlds with personalized story creation, AI-assisted development and hands-on quality testing.
Working alpha · In developmentOriginally from England, I now call the Chicago area home. My career has taken me through sports, logistics and the automotive industry, including a move across the country to California to lead a Lucid Motors studio.
I've never followed a particularly conventional career path, but there's been a consistent theme throughout: I enjoy building things, solving problems and finding ways to make something work better than it did before.
That curiosity extends beyond my professional career. More recently, I've been exploring the world of technology and AI, developing ideas of my own, including GiMagi, an interactive storytelling experience for children.
Outside work, I'm a husband, dad and lifelong sports fan. Having grown up in England, Leicester City will always have my loyalty, but Chicago is home now, and I've embraced the Cubs, Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks along the way. These days, much of my inspiration comes from watching my daughter discover the world around her.
I enjoy finding the connection between what a business needs, what its customers experience, and what a team can deliver. My approach is practical: understand the problem, use the evidence, bring people with you, and keep improving.
Whether I'm leading a team, strengthening an account relationship, or testing an idea of my own, I care about making progress that can be seen and measured.
I'm exploring opportunities in commercial operations, customer experience, account management and business leadership. If my experience could be a fit for your team, I'd welcome a conversation.
