About our founder

Hi, I’m Dan, a purpose-driven leader with over 20 years of experience across health, care, charity, and housing sectors. My purpose is simple: I’m here to help people, teams, and organisations create the right conditions to reach their highest potential. As a Clore Leadership Fellow and consultant, I specialise in leadership, innovation, and business development.

Throughout my career, I’ve led multi-partner projects, secured funding for impactful initiatives, and tackled complex challenges. My background spans executive and system change leadership, business development, and facilitating large-scale programs. I believe in the power of people to learn, grow, and innovate—values that shape everything I do, whether it’s guiding leaders through transformation or supporting teams in adopting new approaches.

“There is no one better than Dan for inspiring a group of people to do their best work - and to have fun whilst doing it. I have learned an enormous amount from his patient and rigorous approach to winning new opportunities, I recommend Dan unreservedly."

Anna Johnson, Partnerships Director at Health Innovation South West 06/24

“Working with Dan has been such a positive and insightful experience. He supported me to identify my goals and used an array of techniques to explore the issues I needed to address to achieve them. Dan created a non-judgemental, safe space to discuss both professional and personal issues that were blocking and supporting my progress.”
