Introducing the edoMidas team ...

As a business psychologist, Tina has vast experience coaching and assessing leadership  at senior management level with organisations such as Baillie Gifford & Co, Standard Life Investments, Martin Currie Investment Management, Ignis Asset Management, Burness LLP and Computacenter. to mention a few.

Tina's expertise is in offering organisational leaders 1:1 consultancy in the high performance tools and approaches developed as a result of the edoMidas research.

The founder of edoMidas, Tina also leads the on-going high-performance research projects and product development within the business.

Tina is known to be slightly obsessive about Danish furniture design and fiercely guards her Arne Jacobsen Egg chair from children and visitors who drink red wine. When Tina is not busy painting everything in her house white, she spends as much time as possible with her husband and daughter Molly.

David leads the training team and is the co-owner of edoMidas. His experience spans 20 years of training and development throughout Europe and South East Asia. He is an expert in competitive pitching and communication skills training, boasting an impressive success record with companies such as Standard Life, Aon, Land Securities Plc, Standard Life Investments, HSBC, Addelshaw Goddard, Voith and Ignis Asset Management.

Fancying himself as creative in the kitchen, David is also extremely passionate about music. In fact, he is a walking encyclopaedia of long forgotten bands such as 'YES' and 'Frank Zappa'. Best of all he likes playing the guitar with his daughter whom, by all accounts, is quickly excelling him.

As a Director of Sotheby’s, after a successful 18 years with the Company, a “Road to Damascus” moment led Simon to refocus his work, retraining as a professional development coach and trainer.  Whilst with Sotheby’s his career covered a variety of business roles from heading the client accounts departments to european business development. He has worked as an Academic too, at Masters Degree level, co-creating and running a niche Masters business programme latterly specialising in organisational behaviour.

Simon leads our training activities in the South East and is on the ground for our London based clients. He is passionate about helping people develop themselves and make the best contribution they can in their business life; making the most of their natural strengths and abilities.  Simon works with many leading blue chip businesses including those in Finance, Law, and Insurance, and he is proud of his work with not for profit organisations too.

His wife Chrissy, is still with Sotheby’s, where they met.  His love of ‘Art & Science’ extends even to his car; it is 39 years old, French, and known as “Venus”!

For 14 years Connie ran an HR/Business development consultancy business and in 2006 she sold the business to enjoy her “mid life crisis”. With her husband she bought a camper van and toured Europe for 18 months. Having worked with edomidas previously on joint initiatives Connie joined the company on her return. Connie has coached and trained at senior levels in both public private sector organisations and since joining Edomidas she has been involved in both coaching and High Performance projects such as National Australia Group, Standard Life Investments, BiP Solutions and Burness LLP.

In her career she has worked with all sizes of companies from small early stage start ups to multinationals and her key areas of interest are growth SMEs and performance management.

18 months of travelling has only enhanced the travel bug and you will still find Connie disappearing off at every opportunity to explore new areas. Don’t be fooled when she tells you that she has no time in her diary, it will be another trip!

Helen has worked for 20 years in an extremely competitive environment in the financial services, managing over £1m budgets and several training teams. As a Lead Consultant, Helen delivers the edoMidas Critical Communication and Leading High Performance programmes for clients such as National Australia Group, Baillie Gifford, Standard Life Investments and RMJM Architects.

Helen's passion is animals and the countryside - riding her horse Kiri, walking her dog Morse or buying antiques ('cracked saucers' as David says!) for her country pad. Combining her love for animals and a great talent for painting, Helen is often commissioned to paint pet portraits.
