exeCutive Coach | Banking & Finance
I help you navigate high-stakes career and leadership transitions.
Bespoke One-to-One Coaching.
When the stakes are personal
You’re used to dealing with difficult situations.
You’ve made important decisions, led people through change and taken responsibility for significant outcomes.
But it’s different when you’re personally affected by the outcome.
The decisions you make at this level can shape your career, your income, your family and what the next few years of your life look like.
You may have spoken to people you trust, read about it or tried to work things out yourself.
But sometimes more advice isn’t what you need.
You need space to step back, challenge your thinking and work out what’s right for you.
What brings you here?
Different challenges. One confidential space to work out what’s right for you.
01
Leader of Choice
For leaders who want to reach the next level.
Coaching to position you as a leader of choice for promotion, by changing how you lead, not simply by doing more.
02
Leading at Scale
For senior leaders whose responsibilities have outgrown their current ways of working.
Coaching to challenge assumptions, change how you lead and create the capacity to operate effectively at a bigger scale.
03
What’s Next?
For successful leaders questioning what they want next.
Coaching to explore your options, create a future that’s right for you and manage the risks of change.
Why work with me?
I’ve spent more than 25 years working in banking and corporate technology, progressing from individual contributor to Global Senior Director at Credit Suisse.
I’ve led organisations of around 300 people, managed major transformation programmes and been involved in evaluating senior promotion candidates.
I understand the demands, expectations and pressures of senior leadership.
I also understand that professional success doesn’t automatically mean everything feels right personally.
There was a point in my own career when I had achieved much of what I’d worked towards, but privately began questioning what I wanted next.
Those questions weren’t straightforward. My career supported a lifestyle and family life I’d worked hard to build.
I know how difficult it can be to examine your options when the consequences extend beyond work.
Alongside my corporate experience, I’ve spent eight years coaching people through leadership, career and personal challenges.
I understand the environment you’re operating in. But I won’t assume I understand you.
That’s where our conversation begins.
Nick helped change my life…. he opened my eyes to alternatives I didn’t think possible and with his support I changed my professional direction in ways I could not have imagined

How we’ll work together
It starts with a conversation. What happens next is shaped around you.
01
Let’s talk
Have a confidential conversation about what brings you here.
02
Decide together
We’ll explore whether coaching is right for you and agree how we’d work together.
03
Work on what matters
Through one-to-one coaching, we’ll explore your challenges, question assumptions and work towards the changes you want to make.
I treat all enquiries in the strictest of confidence.
Initial conversations are free of charge and without obligation.
Please respect my time and yours.
Why work with an executive coach?
You’ve built your career by solving problems, making decisions and taking responsibility. So why would you need a coach?
Because some of the most important challenges you face aren’t necessarily ones you can solve by working harder, gathering more information or applying what has worked before.
You may be considering your next career move, adjusting to greater leadership responsibility or questioning what you want from the years ahead.
These decisions can affect your career, reputation, finances and the people closest to you.
And while you may have people around you who offer advice, finding someone independent, who understands your world but has no stake in your decisions, isn’t always easy.
That’s where coaching can help.
I provide a confidential space to step away from the day-to-day, examine your thinking, challenge assumptions and explore possibilities you might not have considered.
I won’t tell you what you should do or assume I know what’s right for you.
We’ll work together to help you make decisions and changes that are right for you, your career and your life.
