Neil Walker didn't set out to become the person organisations call when transformation stalls. His professional journey began as a practitioner solving operational problems, but four decades navigating enterprise turbulence taught him a fundamental truth: the hardest challenges aren't technical - they're pattern recognition under pressure.

For over 30 years, Neil has been the strategic trouble-shooter leadership teams call when escalations multiply and established frameworks fail. His career spans from architectural trouble-shooter in technical environments (from the Bank of England to UBS), to recovering sprawling programmes (from Barclays to Unilog, now CGI, and across UK Government), to coaching startups and strategic ventures through scaling walls.

His expertise in systems thinking, flow dynamics, organisational development and change led to CIRCA-CLEAR, a proprietary diagnostic framework born from hundreds of real-world interventions. Neil has turned around struggling business units while overseeing P&Ls of up to £40M and architecting broader transformation initiatives in parallel. His documented outcomes include annual value swings of £25M back to the bottom line, £15M cost reductions delivered in six months, 75% time compressions on complex deliverables, and commercialised IP commanding deal sizes up to £5M.

Neil's approach is refreshingly unsentimental: diagnose the specific turbulence pattern, apply the appropriate lever, and measure what actually changes. No heroic narratives - only systematic navigation of the chaos every leader faces.

A sought-after consultant, Neil has dedicated his career to helping leaders navigate turbulence with honest, practical guidance. He has worked with thousands of leaders across continents. He lives in Staffordshire, England, where he can occasionally be found Halfbiking (a stand-up pedal-powered transport), walking his labradors in the Peak District, or using the quiet time to notice emerging patterns.
