Practical mentoring for operational leaders navigating promotion, pressure, and high-stakes decisions. No frameworks. No theory. Just clarity from real experience.
18 years of leadership across operations and logistics. From frontline management to running multi-country P&Ls. Military background. Built warehouse networks from scratch. Turned loss-making operations into multi-million pound profits.
I've been a first-time manager with no idea what I was doing. I've been the leader who inherited a broken team and had to fix it while the operation was still running. I've been the person sat opposite a board asking hard questions.
I've also sat on the other side of the table — conducting over 200 interviews for leadership roles — which gives me a sharp understanding of what good looks like, and how to get there.
LuMi exists because the mentoring I needed at every stage didn't exist. Not coaching frameworks or personality tests — just someone credible saying: "Here's what I'd do, and here's why."
That's what I offer. Practical, experience-based guidance from someone who has actually led the operations, managed the P&L, built the teams, and navigated the politics.
If you're navigating real leadership pressure and want guidance from someone who's been there — this is for you.
Stepped into a bigger role and feeling the weight of it. Need someone to help you accelerate without burning out or making avoidable mistakes.
Running warehouses, supply chains, or logistics operations. Dealing with cost pressure, team performance, and stakeholder management.
Moving from military service into corporate leadership. Translating your experience, navigating a different culture, and finding your footing fast.
At a crossroads — should you stay, move, push for promotion, or try something new? Need clarity from someone with no agenda.
Managing underperformance, restructures, site closures, or toxic cultures. Need a sounding board who understands operational reality.
Doing well but know you could be doing better. Want someone to push your thinking, challenge your approach, and raise your ceiling.
Coaching asks you questions until you find your own answer. Mentoring gives you direct, practical guidance from lived experience.
I'll tell you what I'd do in your situation and why. You'll leave with clear actions, not just "food for thought."
I've managed P&Ls, closed sites, fired and hired, restructured teams, and navigated corporate politics. I mentor from that context.
Every session ends with clarity: what you're going to do, by when, and what "good" looks like. No open-ended navel gazing.
I have no agenda. I don't work for your company. I'll give you the honest perspective your colleagues won't.
