For 20 years, I helped build and lead global fitness and technology businesses at the highest level.

For 20 years, I helped build and lead global fitness and technology businesses at the highest level.
I held senior executive roles, including President of Life Fitness, helped lead a $500M private equity transaction, and spent decades operating in environments defined by pace, pressure, and responsibility.
From the outside, it looked like success.
And in many ways, it was.
But like many leaders, I learned early to prioritise performance above everything else.
Long hours. Constant decision-making. Travel. Growth. Results. Recovery was optional. Stress was normalised. I was always ON. And I was staying in the game.
Until I wasn’t.
Hitting the wall....

In 2019, after years of sustained pressure and a huge half billion dollar exit, I hit real burnout.
Not a bad week.
Not fatigue.
Burnout.

No title or transaction protects you from that reality.

In 2019, after years of sustained pressure and a huge half billion dollar exit, I hit real burnout.
Not a bad week.
Not fatigue.
Burnout.
It forced me to stop and confront something I’d ignored for most of my career: performance without wellbeing isn’t sustainable leadership.
No title or transaction protects you from that reality.
That period changed how I see leadership forever. It pushed me to step back, reassess how I was operating, and rebuild my systems from the inside out.
Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, socially and behaviourally.

I didn’t walk away from ambition. I redefined how I pursue it.

I formalised learning through academic study, earning a second Master’s degree in Outdoor Wellbeing, and grounded all of my lived experience with peer reviewed evidence. I proactively pursued mastery of new skills like Jiu Jitsu to help rewire my mindset.
Today, I’m the Global CEO of Myzone, leading the evolution of MoTech (Motivation Technology) designed not just to measure effort, but to sustain it.
Alongside that role, I speak and write openly about leadership sustainability, burnout prevention, and the role nature plays in restoring perspective and performance.
This work matters to me because I’ve lived both sides of it.
You can build meaningful success without sacrificing your health, relationships, or identity.
But only if you lead differently.

I speak candidly about topics many leaders experience but rarely articulate, including catastrophic burnout and, critically, the path to recovery and how to develop early warning systems
