I am a chartered surveyor and business leader with 15+ years of experience driving strategic growth, commercial real estate investment, and innovation within the built environment.

Beyond Gleeds, I play an active role in shaping industry standards, including my work with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the Circular Do Tank, and the City Architecture Forum.

With a background in real estate strategy, digital transformation, and creative branding, I specialise in:

✔ Strategic growth and leadership

✔ Commercial real estate investment

✔ Stakeholder engagement and business development

✔ Innovation, sustainability, and circular economy

Above all, I thrive on building meaningful relationships, mentoring emerging leaders, and delivering transformative projects that challenge convention and reimagine what’s possible.
