I'm a communications consultant, writer and endurance athlete based in London.

My professional work involves advising investment and financial services companies on communications and reputation, with a particular interest in sustainability and sustainable finance.

Outside work, much of my time is spent running, climbing, skiing and exploring new places. Over the past 15 years, these interests have taken me to some remote corners of the world, from the Arctic and Sahara to the Himalayas and Amazon rainforest.

I also write about adventure travel, endurance sport and the people, places and histories encountered along the way.

Drawing on my own experience of balancing training and expeditions with a demanding career and, more recently, family life, I help busy professionals prepare for endurance challenges of their own. My approach focuses on training consistently, making the most of limited time and fitting ambitious goals around everyday commitments
