Hi, I'm Ian
I spent 21 years in Japan, 15 as Asia-Pacific Managing Director for Bloomberg, where I grew the business to a US$400m turn-over operation by 2003. I was responsible for 1200 people in 18 countries and around 25 different nationalities. I reported directly to Michael Bloomberg, former Mayor of New York.
I love working with successful owners of SMEs who want to get to the next level.
I am an accredited professional executive coach with 17 years’ experience. I have an advanced diploma in executive coaching. I am a performance coach who has a track record of working with people who want to:
• develop the attitude and behaviours needed as a leader
• help understand habitual patterns and broaden the style and range to move forward from previously rigid or stuck problems, situations and relationships
• support to manage and lead in times of complexity, change and ambiguity
• build leadership brand and gravitas
I have a BA in Economics from Sussex University and I am a non-executive director of a Japanese business. I believe even the best can get better and coaching is about helping others to achieve their goals – something I parallel in my own life; I have successfully completed 20 marathons.
