In Short
I have lived both sides of the equation — the corner office and the empty start line. I have led global teams, lost 30 kilograms, written several books, fallen apart and put myself back together more than once.
Soul-Viva is built from that lived experience. Not theory. Not a formula borrowed from someone else's life. The unglamorous, repeatable work of becoming someone who can keep showing up.

The Long Version
A life in chapters.
The early years.
I grew up working class, where effort was currency and nothing was handed to you. That foundation — the quiet discipline of people who get on with it — has survived every season that followed.
Corporate leadership.
I spent two decades climbing through corporate ranks in technology leadership, ultimately leading global teams as a senior executive. I learned how organisations really move, and how leaders quietly burn out behind the metrics.
The international years.
Living and working across continents stripped me down. New cities. New time zones. New versions of myself. I learned that the only real constant is the work you do on who you become.
30 kilograms heavier than I should have been.
Success, it turned out, was not the same as health. The wake-up call was not dramatic — just a slow accumulation of decisions I no longer respected. Running became the way back.
Running, but differently.
I am a lifelong runner who fell out of love with it and found it again. This time on different terms — presence over pace, consistency over heroics, a body I could trust for the long road.
The books.
Several books in: writing has become how I think. The page is honest. It will not let you fudge what you actually believe.
The failures.
There have been more of these than I would like. Businesses, races, identities, versions of myself I had to let go of. Each one taught me something my CV never could.
What Soul-Viva does now.
Soul-Viva helps ambitious people find where their energy is leaking — across Sleep, Choices, Boundaries and Identity — and build a practical plan to fix it. It is supported by the assessment, personalised Blueprint, books, practical resources and weekly insights — all pointed towards the same outcome: sustainable high performance.
