Why Gathered exists

I started my career as a machine learning researcher at Jaguar Land Rover, then moved into operations and management consulting at a UK firm built on an idea I believed in deeply: clients didn't pay until we saw measurable impact on their P&L.

It worked. We delivered real results for real businesses — food manufacturers, retailers, distributors, the NHS — and the fees were always tied to outcomes we could prove. That integrity was the foundation.

Over time, the company started to drift away from those principles. The promises got softer. The focus shifted from outcomes to revenue. It didn't fit with my values on integrity, so I left to start my own thing.

Gathered Consulting exists to carry that original principle forward: fees guaranteed against results. If the work I do doesn't materially improve your performance, I keep going for free. I'm not interested in being paid for work that sounds good but doesn't deliver.

Background

8+ years applying data, analysis, and hands-on problem-solving to help retail, FMCG, and manufacturing businesses drive operational improvement. I've worked across:

I've led these workstreams for businesses ranging from £350m food manufacturers to the NHS, from premium retailers to global med-tech companies. The consistent thread: every engagement was measured by whether it actually moved the numbers.

How I work

Integrity first

I only take on work where I'm confident the outcome will be genuinely beneficial. If I don't think I can help, I'll say so. I'd rather lose a project than sell one I don't believe in.

Evidence, not theory

Every claim is backed by specific numbers. Every recommendation is grounded in direct observation and data. The theory has to work in practice.

Capability, not dependency

I embed within your team so that by the end of the engagement, your people can drive continued improvement independently. True success means you don't need me.

People matter

Process fixes that ignore people don't stick. I focus on creating an inclusive culture where frontline teams, engineers, and managers are all part of the solution — not just the leadership team.
