Lee Shorten
We first met Lee Shorten when he was Managing Director of Avaya for the UK and Ireland and knew instantly that whilst he was ‘one of us’, he was probably also likely to be one of the most demanding clients we had ever had! A practical, straightforward and very experienced international business leader, he didn’t pull his punches and had a talent for getting the very best from us as a partner. He even sometimes picked up the tab for lunch!
Fast-forward two years and we are proud to have him as part of our global team helping businesses small and large to ignite growth with his no-nonsense expertise.
In a world overflowing with so-called business and turnaround experts sanctimoniously dispensing their ‘wisdom’, why on earth should you take our Lee seriously? Well, quite simply over the last 20-years he has genuine experience of repeatedly turning around businesses. Clearly suffering from some sort of masochistic disorder, he has led ‘challenged’ businesses in the fields of technology, telecommunications, manufacturing and recruitment and has both the medals and battle scars to prove it.
A restless champion of innovation in business he has also been involved in businesses that have created some of the worlds most game changing recent technologies, including the first Smartphone, the first 3G network and even the company that invented WiFi. All those great innovations, and all that user frustration all rolled in to one career!
Though Lee lives in the UK with his wife and young family, they can be often found enjoying the sunshine in Spain.
If you want to work out how to really turbo charge your business in a practical and real-world fashion then there are few better than Lee Shorten.
