The Founder - James F Todd
James Todd is a veteran of 35 years experience, primarily in Emerging Markets in the consumer goods industry, and as both CFO and CEO.
James has experienced a vast range of the challenges which VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) markets can bring, in a career which has focused on Africa, Middle East, and Eastern Europe. His compliance credentials include Non-Executive director roles for listed businesses in Nigeria, Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire, and he has extensive experience of Joint Ventures in Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Iran, Niger and Tunisia in both an executive director and advisory director capacity. His operational and executive leadership experience has covered business process improvement, leading corrective action in various forms of business or external crisis, re-shaping business for value and efficiency, investing for growth and a notable and distinctive track record on developing talent.
James brings together his business experience with a lifelong passion for music and a deep connection with Africa in his role as a member of the Trustee Board of Brass for Africa. Brass for Africa is an award-winning charity that delivers music and life-skills training to over a thousand disadvantaged children and young people across Uganda, Rwanda and Liberia.
Experience and professional capability
At the heart of the impact which James creates is a powerful combination of his experience and professional capability, coupled with a huge personal drive to develop people to realise their full potential, especially in demanding circumstances. He is a vocal advocate for equity, diversity and inclusion in talent development and has an enviable track record of putting this into action.
James offers his direct, personal impact in each engagement. He is able to draw on his broad network of business skills and experience to complement this, but at the heart of the offering is his own direct access to experience, positive energy and deep commitment to deliver.
