Charlie helps senior leaders — particularly those shaping the future of AI — align who they are with how they lead.

From his roots in a northern industrial town, Charlie rose quickly — becoming a partner at one of the UK’s top law firms just ten years out of university. What followed was a global executive journey:

• Global Head of Connected Life at a top-four ad agency in New York

• Senior Executive in a San Francisco-based private equity fund

• Founder of several technology startups focused on human behavior, systems thinking, and sustainable innovation

From the outside, it looked like success. But inside, Charlie faced something else — distraction, depression, and disconnection — despite being surrounded by people he loved. That dissonance sparked a journey inward: one of inquiry, practice, and ultimately transformation.

What emerged was a new way of leading — and living. One grounded in clarity, presence, and purpose.

Charlie left corporate life to help other leaders do the same: expand their capacity to meet complexity with clarity, act with aligned intention, and create meaningful impact — not just outcomes.

Today, as a bestselling author, music producer, yogi, father, husband, and executive coach, Charlie partners with AI leaders, founders, policymakers, and change-makers who are navigating profound uncertainty — and want to do so without losing what makes them most human.

He draws from three decades of operational experience, deep study in neurobiology, psychology, and contemplative wisdom traditions, and his own lived experience of transformation. His coaching framework, CAPEx (Conceptualize, Assess, Plan, Execute), helps leaders move from adaptive decision-making to systemic, values-aligned, human-centered impact.

At the heart of Charlie’s work is a simple invitation:

To reconnect with what matters.

To lead not just with brilliance, but with wholeness.

To meet this moment — with clarity, connection, and creative courage.
