He has commanded 200,000 personnel in complex multinational environments, led £30 billion transformation programmes across defence, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, and restructured failing institutions into resilient, high-performance organisations.

A former President of the UK Courts Martial and co-author of the UK Corporate Governance Code, Steven bridges military precision with commercial insight — advising FTSE boards, private equity firms, sovereign clients, and startup founders alike. His work has shaped national policy, driven IPO readiness, and unlocked billions in value through governance-led turnaround.

With a style that is direct, calm, and quietly compelling,

Steven doesn't just deliver keynotes — he delivers conviction. UK based.
