He works with corporate sales teams, SME business owners, technology founders and senior practice and technical professionals in insurance, consulting, technology, logistics, fintech, banking, medical and life science, SaaS, software, financial services, legal and accounting firms – transforming their experts into expert deal closers and impactful leaders.

He has worked with firms such as DLA Piper, Keyword Studios, Kuehne+Nagel, Zurich Insurances, Azets, Bank of Ireland, Broadstone Insurances and small-medium firms to transform their principals, teams and leaders into Highly Trusted Advisors, who can lead teams, close more deals and retain clients.
