Author Information

Adrian and Catherine are a couple of Home County grammar school kids who met at Sheffield University in the mid 1980s. We have lived in our Hampshire village for the last 30 odd years, walking our dogs, although we have lived and worked abroad during this time. Catherine remains the 'brains trust' having studied medicine. She attained her place with Arts A-Levels, which she converted to three sciences in her first university year. We have been together since university, despite our divergent vocations. Post-university, Catherine went into pharmaceuticals, working and managing drug trials to test the efficacy of nascent compounds. I spent 17 years within the Parachute Regiment, leaving with an MBA and MoD experience. Commercially, I found there was little need for parachute assaults upon the city, yet I became adept in making sense of, and creating order from, disorder, to form and storm divergent teams. As a global interim executive, I focused on transformation, change and turnaround in big corporates/programmes, start-ups and on sustainable growth; getting parachuted into companies (no pun intended) with a mandate to transform. Takes me back to where I began!
