About Rich
Executive coach and founder of the Catalyst programmes.
For 20 years I led large-scale change: global programmes, cross-functional teams and the wonderfully messy world of business transformation. Along the way I launched my own startup and spent time in consulting.
The golden thread through all of it was people: helping someone find clarity when they felt stuck, or confidence when they’d lost it. I’ve learned that chasing meaning matters more than chasing titles.
Now I do that full time. I trained as an executive coach at Henley Business School and have coached leaders from charities to corporates through promotions, setbacks and career crossroads. I created the Catalyst programmes because the skills that matter most at work are the ones people are rarely taught.
Credentials: Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching, Henley Business School. I use CliftonStrengths throughout the Catalyst programmes.
Beyond work
I live in west London with my wonderful wife, three children and our handsome golden retriever, Otis. You’ll often find me walking with him along the river, coffee in hand (me not him!), reflecting or recharging.
I love cooking, especially Asian and Indian food and I’m just as passionate about eating it afterwards!
I read a lot and find it so energising. I love exploring positive psychology, neuroscience and the latest research on identity, strengths, resilience and how teams thrive. That learning shapes the way I support leaders and helps my practice grow.
Why work with me
Every session is shaped around your goals, your challenges and your leadership journey, so you get what you need, when you need it.
I slow things down so you can think clearly, notice patterns and understand what’s driving decisions, behaviours and impact.
I ask questions that help you see things differently, gently challenging assumptions and opening up new ways of thinking.
My tools are practical and backed up by credible research, psychology, neuroscience and real-world insight.
I care passionately about seeing leaders grow. I’m committed to helping you develop your identity and lead with authenticity.
What matters to me
Making a difference
Integrity
Collaboration
Kindness
Fun
I care about making a genuine difference, working with honesty and creating spaces where people can think clearly, grow confidently and thrive. I value authenticity over polish, integrity over performance and collaboration over ego.
I believe leadership should leave room for kindness, curiosity and a little laughter along the way.
If you’re drawn to meaningful work and a partnership built on trust, growth and a little fun, I’d love to hear from you.
