Communications can be an opportunity or barrier for professional progression and personal growth.
For example, studies have shown listeners can feel more positive toward speakers who modulate their voice to be higher and varied in volume. This is because they appear more confident.
Through bespoke and established programmes like Presentation Presence and Perception, I give people the knowledge, skills, and experience to achieve their goals.
Helping
-
Communications and marketing functions can have an out-sized impact, often with an under-sized team.
I bolster in-house and agency teams with capability and capacity, with sectorial expertise across technology, telecommunications, and professional services, and senior experience in strategy, executive profiling, narrative development, and more.

A leader’s communication can build or erode organisational value, nurture or destroy a culture, build or erase a personal legacy.
I work directly with current and aspiring leaders to build or elevate their person communications, using Presentation Presence and Perception as a baseline.
I also operate as an organisation’s fractional communications leader, with the Strategic Communications Accelerator as a framework.

Symon was never afraid to bring creative ideas to the table, and I loved that he always tied them back to our business objectives. He commanded the respect of his team and client stakeholders which always made our collaborations efficient, effective, and exciting.
Former Partner
QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey
I really valued how Symon built trust through collaboration, and pushed the thinking of our communications approach. He strikes the right balance of creativity and pragmatism, can rally executives around a common goal, and is always focused on the real outcome for the individual and business.

Edelman
Symon was a dream to work with. Smart, curious, creative, and always hungry to learn. Beyond being a top bloke, he was also a very reliable and professional client and team lead. He was also an action man. Not in the lever in the back of the head to make the eyes move kind of way, but in his determination to do things and to see them through. Specifically, he had a knack of taking his passions and interests and then turning them into real commercial value. Whether that was founding the London Technology team's podcast, Sideload (still going strong today), or kicking off our Health Technology division.

Symon is an exceptional leader. During our collaboration at Amazon Web Services he and his team helped transform the communications function from tactical and opportunistic PR, to leading a clear and consistent narrative to build the company's reputation.
