Who am I.
I am a coach and trainer who blends high-pressure leadership experience with the mental discipline of a 100km ultra-runner. After 17+ years in engineering, energy, and commercial leadership including leading billion-pound projects and strategic partnerships for BP and RWE. I now help leaders like you think clearly, perform better, and lead with purpose.
My clients are senior leaders who want to step up strategically with more clarity, confidence, resilience and less burnout. Using a unique mix of mindset coaching, behavioural science, and fitness-based mental training, I help you build the habits and presence to thrive under pressure and lead with greater impact.
Let’s upgrade how you think, lead, and live.
I did not just lead billion-pound projects.
I transformed my life and now help others do the same.
I transformed my life and now help others do the same.
My story started far from the boardroom, at 16, training as a plumber in vocational school. I had no roadmap, but I had ambition. I believed I could shape my future.
So I did.
I earned a Master’s in Engineering and later an MBA, pivoted from engineering to commercial leadership, and went on to lead the strategy and development of multi-billion-pound energy infrastructure projects for BP and RWE.
I know what it takes to succeed under pressure and what it costs if you do not evolve. Despite the success and climbing the corporate ladder, I still felt something was missing. My biggest transformation was internal. From overthinking and burnout to clarity and conviction. From imposter syndrome to influence. I discovered that real leadership starts with the self and that performance without purpose is just survival.
I am also an ultra-runner. For over 20 years, I have trained my mind the same way I train my body one stride at a time. Running 100km races teaches you something most leadership books never will:
"Resilience is not toughness. It is presence, clarity, and trust in yourself when the path gets steep."
Today, I help leaders accelerate that journey. Through coaching grounded in behavioural science, NLP, and lived experience, I help you shift the patterns holding you back so you can think clearly, lead boldly, and live more purposefully.
Because mindset is not just mental. It is emotional. Physical. Spiritual.
And when you align the heart, body, and mind anything becomes possible.
Real-world experience meets human-centred coaching
Before founding Ignis, I spent 17+ years leading high-stakes commercial projects across energy, construction, and renewables. From billion-pound bids to international expansion. I know what pressure looks like from the inside, and how hard it is to lead when the stakes are high and the path unclear.
Real-world leadership impact
Backed by 17+ years of experience leading £bn bids, strategic teams, and international partnerships.
Now, I bring that same experience into coaching. I combine real-world leadership with tools grounded in behavioural science, NLP, Positive Intelligence, and systems thinking to help leaders grow into calm, confident, and impactful decision-makers.
Because in today’s world, technical skill is not enough.
You need clarity under pressure, and the mindset to lead it.
