Previous role (signature)

14 years Group CEO of Nuffield Health (£700m+ revenue, ~32 hospitals, ~15,000 staff); now Duke Street Operating Partner + 4-portfolio chair.

Ex-Nuffield Health Group CEO ~14yr (£700m+ B2C healthcare); now Duke Street Operating Partner + AGITO NEC Chair post-Philips carve-out 2024.

14yr Nuffield CEO; Duke Street OP + BMI/Linnaeus/Anthropos chair (Lin 44-walk). Approach as himself, Mobbs-shaped conversation (Duke Street thesis + Nuffield governance track), NOT as puppet-to-Chapman.

ROUTE-QUESTION Adam 2026-09-16 answered YES: approach as connector-conversation not puppet-to-Chapman. Also: Lin msg-2jlvuy noted 3 other chair roles (BMI/Linnaeus/Anthropos) returned zero CH matches in vpsm snapshot — Trawl deep-verify recommended for full portfolio-governance mapping.

Data gap: L6 raised from 2 — 4-portfolio-chair pattern + Duke Street Operating Partner = active governance engagement, not NED-drift.

Data gap: L6 evidence-only rescore: 4-portfolio-chair pattern + Duke Street Operating Partner = active governance, but not CEO/founder direction
