John Cripps consults for growth companies primarily in the chemical and consumer goods sectors.

The assignments involve working across strategy development, growth and change management, governance and commercial outreach.

Prior to consulting, John worked at senior level for a number of major organisations both in banking, including Lazard, Schroders, HSBC and in industry, with Bass and Syngenta.
