Rob Lewis, Founding Director and executive coach

Rob holds a degree in Development Economics and Development Studies and began his career teaching English, Geography and Physical Education in secondary schools. He then joined the Royal Marines, earning the Commando Medal during Young Officer training before serving with 40 Commando across several operational theatres. He carried that first-hand leadership experience into the Royal Navy School of Leadership and Management, where he worked as a lead facilitator and coach, developing leadership potential across a wide range of formats.

A committed sportsman with a Cambridge Blue, Rob is a lifelong endurance enthusiast whose expeditions have taken him to some of the world’s wildest places, including the North Pole. These days he channels that energy into long-distance cycling and multi-sport events — a belated bid to spare his knees while raising life-changing sums for charity.

With more than 25 years of training design, consulting and delivery experience, Rob has worked globally with some of the world’s largest and most successful organisations, from executive coaching through to international development programmes. He is a senior EMCC Coach and NLP practitioner, accredited to deliver a wide range of profiling and psychometric instruments. He specialises in the power of experiential learning and thoughtful training design to inspire change, and is a firm advocate of blended programmes that deliver measurable outcomes.
