Tony CookeExecutive Coach

Tony has over 30 years’ senior leadership experience across a variety of sectors and organisational contexts including multinational, government, family business, non-profit and complex public-private stakeholder environments. He began his career in the City and then the agri-food sector, leading a series of major national public-private partnership programmes before heading up the public services division of a major global outsourcing company. He then moved into strategy consulting working with over 20 sectors across 5 continents before becoming an interim CEO for several organisations in turnaround. He eventually found his way into executive coaching after discovering deep fulfilment in developing other leaders.
