About
I am an executive coach and mentor with more than 30 years of experience in technical, sales, marketing and international leadership roles. I understand the environments you work in because I have worked in them too.
About Joe
My career began in technical support and developed through sales, sales management, specialist team leadership and senior marketing roles at Waters Corporation. I worked across international analytical science and laboratory technology markets, leading people and working closely with customers in Europe, Asia and Australia.
What I enjoyed most was helping people develop: seeing someone grow in confidence, question an assumption or find a better way forward. Today, I bring that same interest to coaching, mentoring and work with teams, alongside practical experience of the pressures of technical and commercial leadership.
Why this work matters to me
There is often more than one way forward.
I am curious about what makes people tick: how they see themselves, what matters to them and what shapes their choices. Under pressure, it can be easy to repeat familiar responses. I help people pause, examine what is happening and consider possibilities they may not have seen before—whether they are leading others, facing a commercial challenge or working through something as a team.
My approach is calm, direct and grounded in trust.
I listen closely, ask questions and challenge without judgement. I want to understand what is happening for you and help you look at it from different angles.
When mentoring, I also share relevant experience and offer practical guidance. With teams, I help people discuss what matters, question assumptions and agree useful next steps. Before we begin, we agree what you want to achieve and how I can best support you.
Experience and qualifications.
I combine more than 30 years of industry and leadership experience with formal training in executive coaching and accreditation in Hogan personality assessments.
That combination informs my work with leaders, sales teams and commercial leadership teams in science and technology—bringing thoughtful challenge, relevant experience and practical support.
