20 years’ experience leading commercial and operational strategy for top international architecture and design firms. Expert in optimising profitability, strengthening governance, and mitigating risk, with global experience across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

After two decades in senior commercial and operational leadership roles inside global architecture practices, I saw the same problem repeatedly from both sides of the industry:

Architecture firms are often exceptional at design but this is quite often not matched by their expertise in commercial management. Conversely real estate developers, contractors or investors quite often lack the insight into how architects operate on the inside that would enhance their ability to select and manage design teams effectively.

My advisory work sits at the intersection of these two worlds — helping architecture practices strengthen their businesses while helping organisations across the built environment extract greater value from the design process.
