Meet Your Coach

Dave Cook, the one and only Yorkshire Cowboy

Experienced, Passionate, and Committed to Your Success

During my time in the C-Suite, I’ve navigated six organisations across various industry sectors. From start-ups to scale-ups, from downsizing to successful exits, my journey has been marked by hands-on, strategic leadership and collaboration with teams in over 30 countries.

I’ve built, bought, and integrated. Innovated, created, and launched. Merged and acquired. I’ve seen revenues soar and costs diminish, and through it all, I’ve learned, adapted, and evolved with each experience. My comprehensive background enables me to offer unique insights and effective strategies tailored to your needs.

My passion lies in sharing my experience to help others thrive. It’s more than just guidance – it’s about empowering you to advance, accelerate, and elevate your career. This is my Ikigai, my reason for being. I’m committed to helping you unlock your full potential and achieve your ambitions.
