My story
I have operated at a senior level across many exciting areas of business and, have been fortunate to shape and develop my expertise in both established and new ventures.
Approach
Throughout my working life, the strength to communicate, to tell a story or convey a message has always been at the heart of my ability. The media may have changed, but as a skill, what I do has become evermore important.
Sadly, in many new ventures, these skills are often in short supply, which limits the potential to spin a compelling argument when it most matters.
And SMEs lack the financial clout necessary to raise its game and strengthen its voice. Mouth Piece offers knowledge and expertise to support the small business owner. My services are affordable and available on a 'what you need, when you need it' basis. No retainer and an easy to grasp fee scale. See where I can assist.

The thread running throughout my career has been consultative, strategic and highly creative. I have been the 'go to' for content across sales teams, launch programmes, investor presentations, board reports and much more.
I'm accustomed to standing up and making my case. For many years this was as an industry speaker for the regional press. Over 5 years I represented the sector at a time of great change, delivering at conferences across Europe and the US.Today I have applied this ability to make a powerful stand through the written word.

Life re-set
The pandemic forced a re-set to the way we all work and, video conferencing has quickly become an accepted and effective way to communicate.
This allows me to live a more tranquil life in rural Vienne, France. A way of life that enjoys the benefits of peace and quiet and a favourable climate, coupled with the technology to participate in the daily cut and thrust of commerce.
