As an Associate Director in our transformation consulting team, I specialise in cost optimisation and EBIT improvement programmes, providing both advisory and hands-on support throughout client’s cost transformation journey. Clients come to this work for different reasons: margin pressure, a strategic reset, or the need to fund investment elsewhere in the business. But the challenge is usually the same - finding savings that hold, not just a one-off number. 

Many of our clients find it hard to identify and land cost reduction alongside business as usual. I help them build a robust, fairly apportioned case for change, then pinpoint how to supercharge delivery. For a hospitality group with turnover of more than £2 billion, that meant designing a five-year, £200 million cost savings programme that delivered £56 million of benefit in year one alone, with the operating model and drumbeat of accountability in place to keep it landing. 

I'm an ACA-qualified accountant, which gives me a strong grounding in the numbers behind any transformation. Alongside my cost reduction work, I’ve supported other large-scale transformation programmes, including complex target operating model design and implementation through acquisitions and divestments. 

I've worked with clients across hospitality, food and beverage, retail, insurance and technology. Whichever sector our client is in, the most important thing is to take the time to listen and gain real-world insight into their cost base and their people, so we can design a plan that's both financially rigorous and genuinely deliverable. 

If any of the above sounds familiar, I’d welcome the conversation. Connect with me by email or on LinkedIn.
