Transformation Strategist | Decision-Making Expert | Champion of Clarity in Complexity
As the founder of Rainman Advisory, I help organisations navigate the chaos and ambiguity of business transformation, turning complexity into clarity, and risk into results. Drawing on 20+ years in program management, assurance, and strategic consulting, I’ve built a reputation for rigorous, evidence-based decision-making in the face of uncertainty.
Diagnosed with ADHD at age 50, I embrace neurodivergence as my superpower, enabling me to see connections others miss, ask the questions others don’t, and reframe entrenched problems with fresh insight. My practice is grounded in logic, empathy, and a refusal to accept “that’s just how it’s done” as an answer.
Clients and peers value my directness, collaborative spirit, and relentless focus on uncovering the real issues that drive transformation outcomes, often surfacing hidden risks and untapped opportunities that others overlook. I don’t just deliver recommendations; I partner with executives, audit, and risk leaders to build practical, lasting solutions for complex change.
Key areas of expertise:
• Business transformation strategy & delivery
• Risk, assurance, and decision-making under uncertainty
• PMO leadership and program rescue
• Behavioural economics applied to change
• Executive advisory and board-level facilitation
I’m passionate about bridging the gap between “project speak” and business reality, helping decision-makers make smarter, safer, and more sustainable choices. I publish regularly on transformation, risk, and the human side of change, and am available for speaking engagements, panels, and media commentary.
