Professional Profile

Over the past 21 years I’ve had the privilege of leading men and women in a variety of challenging roles, from trenches to boardrooms, for companies like the U.S. Army, Merrill Lynch, HSBC, General Electric, and others.

I hold a History degree from the U.S. Military Academy, West Point. I am an accredited NLP Practitioner and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

My key achievements include:

Airborne Infantry Officer
I served with distinction as an infantry officer with the 3rd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment and with the 10th Mountain Division.

Co-founder of the Ascent Experience Ltd

Director of ClayLowe Training
ClayLowe Training is an evolutionary coaching and training
consultancy that helps clients with improving business performance through its people using innovative training and coaching programs that focus on delivering measurable results.

What I Do Now
I am a leadership and personal development coach. I do my best and most inspiring work with individuals, groups, and organizations that are dynamic, forward thinking, and passionate about learning and development.

My areas of expertise are coaching, leadership development, teambuilding, and motivational sales coaching where coaching is used as a tool to eliminate the barriers that prevent average performers from being top performers.

I would love the opportunity to work with you and your organization. I welcome emails and phone calls if you want to begin a conversation. And then we’ll see where it goes from there. I look forward to hearing from you.
