LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION

As Managing Director of a rapidly scaling technology business, Harry oversaw the launch into four continents, including an annual $10m contract with one of the world’s largest real estate consultancies and multiple fundraising campaigns.

He managed a team of 100+ people, working directly with the co-Founders to pass on the day to day running of the business onto the senior leadership team. This is an area he is passionate about supporting businesses with, building the trust and accountability to enable managers to step up and ease the burden on Founders/CEOs.

The first 10 years of his career was in communications, advising at Board level on reputational issues, media profile and corporate communications from start ups to some of the world’s largest companies.

Harry has helped to articulate the vision of numerous businesses and coached experienced leaders to communicate it both internally and through external PR. Doing this effectively helps to engage employees, engender a collective sense of purpose and makes a business more appealing to its employees, customers and key stakeholders.

 

TEAM PLAYERS

Even in a world where the true impact of AI is yet to take full effect, people still buy from people, particularly in B2B businesses. Harry is a vocal advocate of attracting, nurturing and retaining the best talent at your disposal.

This takes time and investment but pays off many times over in the long run. SMEs have the advantage of being able to offer attractive career progression for their employees so finding, hiring and developing the right ones is critical to their success.
