A former employee for 30 years in the public and private sector, he is now the author of five best-selling books, including “Detox Your Culture”, “Culture Fix" and the award-winning “Project Book”. He is a regular speaker at conferences and events around the world, and has been featured in media outlets such as Harvard Business Review, Sky News and the BBC.
