I am an independent capacity building consultant with extensive experience working with international organisations in needs assessment, training strategy development, evaluation, project management and training design. I have delivered training on these subjects in many organisations, including UNHCR, UN-DPKO, HSBC, Lloyds Bank and various United Kingdom governmental departments.

I have written three books on different aspects of training and human resources, the most recent (2009) covering training needs analysis techniques in global and diverse organisations, Cultural Differences and Improving Performance, and am currently writing a fourth book looking at needs analysis and evaluation using systems thinking methodologies.

In personal time I have completed two long distance fund-raising bicycle rides; Land's End to John O'Groats (2004 for UNICEF) and Sheffield to Budapest (2012 for UNHCR).

I have British nationality, am a native English speaker and also speak French. I am currently working towards a second Master’s degree in the application of systems thinking methodologies to humanitarian and development contexts.
