I started Fallon Coaching Ltd after more than 30 years working for and leading global media companies that were undergoing almost constant change through disruption and transformation.

I know personally that high-profile leadership roles can feel deeply exposed, poorly supported and politically charged. They can generate a great deal of "internal noise" and self-doubt at the best of times - never mind during high-stakes periods of uncertainty and change!

Supporting leaders to overcome challenges, succeed on their terms, and lead with authenticity is where I find my own greatest sense of purpose and fulfilment.

I work with senior executives facing significant leadership or organisational demands: stepping into a board role, taking on a larger remit, managing high-stakes initiatives or aligning executive teams to deliver in challenging commercial or operating environments.

You might be...

• Taking charge of a new executive or leadership team

• Joining an established corporate culture or leadership team

• Managing the transition from peer to boss (or subordinate to peer)

• Delivering high-stakes, career-defining initiatives

• Moving from functional or divisional to enterprise leadership

• Scaling operations across international markets

• Setting and executing strategy that aligns the board and staff

• Integrating acquired businesses or teams with disparate cultures

• Connecting strategic vision to daily execution

• Unblocking stalled projects and broken processes

• Fixing dysfunctional team dynamics and siloes

• Building high-performance teams, including creative talent

My background
I have experience across a broad range of roles, covering everything from editorial to product management, sales and marketing, strategy, operations and divisional  Managing Director roles.

Most recently, I held senior executive and board roles at the Financial Times, The Economist Group, Informa and Oxford University Press.

I bring:

• A deep understanding of strategy and execution: intellectually, practically, and culturally

• Broad, real-world (and global) executive experience across functions, roles, and major transformational initiatives and events 

• A focus on balancing healthy team culture, alignment and sustained performance

I am pursuing a coaching qualification from Henley Business School to complement my corporate operating experience.

If you are leading a high-stakes or career-defining initiative or undergoing your own career transition, set up a time to discuss working together - or send me an enquiry here.
