I am a procurement and operational transformation specialist with more than 30 years of experience across the military, public sector, and private sector.
My career has spanned logistics, supply chain, procurement leadership, digital transformation, and solution design. I have worked across global corporates, government environments, and complex regulated sectors where delivery, control, and measurable outcomes matter.
Alongside my professional work, I co-created Ideas-Shared with Ivar Ingimarsson to address a recurring problem I had observed throughout my career.
Capable people and organisations often know what needs improving.
What they lack is a practical way to coordinate effort and follow through to completion.
Ideas-Shared was designed to provide that missing capability.
Background
I began my career in the British Army within logistics and supply, serving across multiple international locations before moving into civilian procurement and transformation roles.
Over the following decades I worked across:
This experience provided a clear view of how organisations operate in practice and where progress often stalls.
Repeatedly, the same pattern appeared.
Good ideas.
Capable people.
Strong intent.
Limited coordination and follow-through.
That observation ultimately led to the creation of Ideas-Shared.
Why Ideas-Shared Exists
Ideas-Shared was not created as a social platform, consultancy, or campaign.
It was created as practical infrastructure.
A structured environment where individuals, informal groups, and organisations can coordinate effort, collaborate constructively, and deliver measurable outcomes together.
The system is neutral and open to anyone who wants to engage constructively, regardless of background, profession, or viewpoint.
Its purpose is simple.
When coordination improves, outcomes improve.
When outcomes improve, confidence and momentum grow.
When momentum grows, meaningful progress becomes easier to achieve.
My Work Today
My time is currently divided between:
All of this work shares a common thread:
creating practical structures that help people and organisations move from intention to delivery.
A Simple Philosophy
Real progress happens when people coordinate action around what matters and follow through to completion.
Systems do not replace people.
They simply make meaningful progress easier to achieve.
That principle sits behind everything I build and support.
