My business background

Tim Davies standing in an art gallery dressed in a dark business jacket and white shirt.

I’ve had a diverse career as a Chair, CEO, MD, and Director in publishing, PR, distribution, agency, and B2B vendor services.

With a background in sales and marketing, I’ve been a senior executive at startups, large corporations, privately owned firms, employee-owned businesses, non-profit organisations, and VC- and PE-backed enterprises.

I’ve led and managed Merger & Acquisition processes, both building and realising sale value for stakeholders, and navigating the intricacies of post-purchase integration.

In short, I’ve ‘been there and done that’!
