This page is intended to give you an overarching idea of who I am, and what I value.

So, who am I?

A relentless truth-seeker

especially in difficult or uncomfortable times. I don’t limit this purely to facts, it includes emotional honesty, systemic critiques, and exposing misalignments between values and actions.

Strengths

• I name what others avoid to restore clarity and alignment.
• I believe that integrity means aligning what we say, what we do, and what we allow.
• I openly challenge leaders and authority when I believe it is necessary, and encourage healthy dissent.
• I write candidly about my emotional struggle and vulnerability.
• I seek understanding even in adversarial contexts, preferring curiosity over defensiveness. I love my enemies as my greatest teachers.

Shadow Side

• Sometimes my pursuit of truth becomes a blade instead of a bridge.
• I’ve had to learn that not everyone is ready to hear what’s true before they feel seen.
• I may come across as confrontational or intense.
• I can be a bit preachy at times.

A pursuer of justice and fairness for all

that acknowledges our differences, yet focuses more on what brings us together. I have a preference for restoration rather than retribution. I believe that actions, omissions, and words have equal weight, and I prefer to focus on their congruence. I also believe that impact must be measured with intent to promote learning and growth.

Strengths

• I champion psychological safety and criticise performative cultures.
• I support the underdog in recognition of assymetries of power.
• I raise the need for ethical conduct in leadership, even at personal expense.
• I defend people’s right to be heard.
• I notice who is being left out, and I create space for them.
• I want to be the kind of person people feel safe being honest around.

Shadow Side

• When I interpret actions or decisions as unjust, my reflex response might be sharp or sardonic when softening my tone would be a better strategy.
• I sometimes assume others see the same ethical misalignment that I do, and that assumption can create distance.
• In organisations where efficiency and simplicity is prioritised, I may be perceived as overly idealistic or sanctimonious.
• There are times I’ve lost trust too quickly, or judged systems harshly before understanding their constraints.

A delver into the depths

I’m drawn to what lies beneath the surface; patterns, fears, histories, contradictions. I work with ideas that challenge people, sometimes because it makes me feel clever, and mostly because I believe that we can’t change what we don’t understand.

Strengths

• I ask the question behind the question because I want to know the root, not just the result.
• I see complexity not as a problem to be solved, but as a landscape to be navigated.

Shadow Side

• Oftentimes I find myself plunging so deep into the pattern that I forget to name the simple, obvious thing.
• I can be seen as too abstract or ’too much’ in environments that prioritise speed over reflection.
• I can default to analysis when presence or empathy would have been enough.
• I may perceive conspiracy without direct access to truth.

A restless alchemist

I don’t pretend to have it all figured out. My path has been shaped by loss, fear, and failure as much as by progress. I try to live my values in motion, not just on a stage.

Strengths

• I name my own blind spots and wounds because I don’t want to lead from illusion.
• I turn difficult experiences into insights, not for display, but to integrate what they’ve taught me.
• I see growth as the art of learning in public and showing others that it’s safe to evolve.

Shadow Side

• I sometimes share too much, too soon, mistaking openness for connection.
• I occasionally revel in the theatrical.
• There have been times when I was still bleeding but tried to lead anyway.
• My inner critic has the loudest voice, it pushes me to grow but sometimes forgets to celebrate how far I’ve come.

A systems thinker and builder

I see the system and the soul at once. I consider how behaviour emerges from structure, how emotions shape processes, how failures point to design flaws, not just individual ones. I believe the most meaningful change is both technical and human.

Strengths

• I map patterns others feel but can’t name, the tensions, loops, and blind spots.
• I blend engineering insight with cultural design, helping teams move from reactive chaos to intentional architecture. I ask how systems can be redesigned not just for efficiency and reliability, but for dignity and safety.

Shadow Side

• I’ve struggled to make my thinking accessible to those who want quick fixes.
• Sometimes I overestimate an organisation’s readiness to look in the mirror.
• Conversely, I squirm when the spotlight is fixated on me.
• When systems resist change, I can lose patience with people still operating inside them.
