About
Co-Founder and CEO at OneLeap. OneLeap helps leading corporates and governments be more entrepreneurial. We build innovative new venture and grow existing business; develop more entrepreneurial leaders through customised executive development; help organisations define and execute their innovation strategies, including through building strategic communities. Our unique approach frequently involves working directly with top tier entrepreneurs, and places great emphasis on using 'venture sprints' to create practical solutions in as little as a few days. OneLeap draws on 3000 entrepreneurs across 35 countries. We work with companies and government in the UK, Europe, Asia, MEA and US and our work has been featured in Harvard Business Review. Previously, I worked as a senior adviser in the UK Prime Minister's Strategy Unit, as a diplomat working on trade negotiations in China and at the WTO in Geneva, as a strategist and as a lawyer. I've founded several non-profit projects and ventures and I speak around the world on strategy and innovation. I was a Gates Cambridge Scholar. Specialties: Business Strategy, Innovation, Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Executive Development.

Company bio
OneLeap helps the world's greatest companies grow by being more entrepreneurial. We do this in three ways: 1. Innovation + Growth Strategy We were first recognised in Harvard Business Review for helping our clients innovate bold business models by working alongside entrepreneurs. We also specialise in innovation strategy: designing the right innovation “vehicle” to help a company achieve its business objectives. 2. Leadership Development There’s no point in having a great vehicle, without a great driver. We develop entrepreneurial leaders who can set the stage for their colleagues to innovate. 3. Insights from global entrepreneur community You have to know where to drive - where to innovate. Real insights are based on 'skin in the game'. We help our clients explore where cutting-edge entrepreneurs (and the VCs betting on them) are investing their time and money. Why we're different: 1. We're supported by a global community of 3000 entrepreneurs across 35 countries - we draw on their expertise in making our impact practical. Sometimes we bring them in directly to work alongside your executives. 2. We have a proven, Harvard Business Review-featured methodology. 3. Our expert consultants combine blue-chip strategy and commercial acumen with a rare set of leadership and entrepreneurial experience: from technology startups, to the military and politics. We also have a global expert community whose members range from Harvard academics to former Intelligence community leaders. Who we work with We work with senior executives in companies in UK/Europe, Asia and the US including in retail, technology, energy, finance, food and beverages. We also partner with leading executive education providers such Oxford University to unlock growth in your business.
