EXECUTIVE COACH for technology leaders

Become the Leader of Choice for the executive level.

Executive Coaching for ambitious technology leaders who want to reach and succeed at the executive level.

Don’t let a promotion pass you by.

You’ve worked hard, delivered results and built a strong reputation.

But so have your competitors.

At your level, delivering results alone is no longer enough to differentiate yourself.

Senior decision-makers also need confidence that you can lead, behave and communicate at the executive level, create impact beyond your function and earn the backing of influential executives.

Others may already be demonstrating that readiness and building those relationships.

By the time promotion decisions are made, much of the groundwork has already been done.

And if you’re not selected, it could be another year or longer before you get another opportunity, along with the responsibility, influence and financial rewards that come with it.

Become the Leader of Choice.

Together, we work on what’s holding you back and strengthen your position for executive promotion.

Stand Out

Stand out from your peers who are just as talented and working just as hard by demonstrating strategic impact beyond your current role.

Scale Up

Change how you lead, behave and operate to demonstrate you’re ready for executive responsibility, without simply working harder or burning out.

Build Sponsorship

Build trusted relationships with influential executives who are willing to put their credibility behind your progression.

So when promotion decisions are made, you’re not simply another strong candidate. You’re positioned as the Leader of Choice.

I’ve been on both sides of the promotion table.

I know what it takes to build a successful career in technology. And I know that progressing to executive level isn’t simply about working harder or delivering more.

Sometimes you know what you need to do, but aren’t sure how to go about it. Other times, the politics, relationships and expectations are difficult to navigate on your own.

I’ve spent 25 years in corporate technology, progressing from software developer to Global Senior Director at Credit Suisse.

I’ve also sat on senior promotion boards, evaluating candidates and seeing first-hand what differentiates those who progress from those who get overlooked.

Today, I combine that experience with eight years of professional coaching, providing an independent, confidential space to work through the challenges standing between you and the executive level.

I understand how the system works, and I can help you navigate it.

“Personally the year has been a huge success, ending with a promotion that I had been targeting. The feedback from management as part of the promotion process highlighted my leadership skills, which was a key area on which Nick and I worked.”

How to get started.

My coaching is bespoke, confidential and one-to-one.

Book a Confidential Conversation

Book yourself a 45-minute confidential conversation.

Confidential Conversation

We’ll discuss where you are in your executive journey and what’s getting in your way and determine if I am the right coach for you.

Agree Next Steps

If we both feel coaching would be valuable, I’ll explain how we could work together and we’ll agree on the next steps.

Our initial conversation is complimentary and without obligation.

Book a confidential conversation

Be recognised as ready for the executive level.

You’ve spent years building your experience, delivering results and earning the respect of those around you.

Now you want the opportunity to make a bigger contribution.

To have more influence over strategic decisions, take on bigger challenges alongside senior peers and enjoy the recognition and financial rewards that come with greater responsibility.

But getting there requires more than continuing to do what has made you successful so far.

Together, we’ll work on the changes that help you move from being recognised as a strong technology leader to someone senior decision-makers see as ready for executive responsibility.

So when promotion decisions are made, you’ve given yourself a stronger case for being selected, without simply working harder or making more personal sacrifices.
