About Owen

I am a high-impact Strategic Talent and Digital Capability Consultant with over two decades of experience driving organisational performance through human-centered digital transformation. As an ILM 7 accredited Executive Coach with deep expertise in psychometrics like Insights Discovery, EQi-2.0 and Hogan, I excel at bridging the gap between technical innovation and cultural adoption. I bring a proven track record of delivering measurable ROI, such as increasing performance cycle efficiency by 33% and scaling an award-winning data literacy program to over 5,000 employees globally. Whether architecting career pathways for AI and Data Specialists, establishing neuroinclusive leadership initiatives, or coaching C-suite leaders through international growth, I provide the strategic insight and operational rigour required to transform talent into a competitive advantage.
