About Russ
Many high-potential SME owners are caught in a cycle of hard work without the rewards they deserve. I partner with you to resolve critical business challenges and unlock sustainable, profitable growth.
My support is grounded in a rare blend: decades of director level experience within multinational organisations together with academic credentials that combine with the raw, hands-on reality of building, scaling, and successfully exiting my own businesses. This triple perspective ensures we implement high-level strategy using SME-appropriate, actionable tactics.
My commitment to always seeking external knowledge was key to my success.
You are the driving force—the entrepreneur who built this business from the ground up.
Your effort, desire, vision, and dedication; you need to ensure those efforts deliver the profits you deserve.
As the business owner, you are the driving force. You will benefit from the guiding powerful coaching combination of my three-tiered knowledge: corporate leadership, MBA scrutiny, and the hard-won, hands-on knowledge of a successful entrepreneur. This blend perfectly integrates insight and theory with actionable, implementable growth and profitability strategies tailored for you.
I believe in life long learning and since focusing my time as a business coach and mentor I have gained business coach certification and awarded a Master of Business Administration, with distinction from Aston University Business School.
A graduate and alumni of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 small business programme and formerly a Visiting Fellow of Aston University.
This is not intended to impress or overwhelm as I am at ease and happy to be working with a solo entrepreneur in a start-up as I am supporting business owners and providing Fractional Director support.
