Nigel Cumberland

After being brought up in the UK, educated at Cambridge, Nigel has worked all over the world for 22 years and is now based in the UK. The first half of his career was spent in corporate roles within multinationals, before spending over ten years in the global coaching and people development fields helping a wide array of corporate and government clients. He enjoys helping individuals and teams through the “roads less traveled” of personal and organizational transitions and changes. He often helps new business leaders make the jump into more senior and diverse P&L roles working with all kinds of challenges, strategies, cultures, backgrounds and countries.

Nigel helps coach leaders to strengthen and improve their leadership and management skills set, such as communication, presentational style, decision-making, delegation, managing meetings, giving feedback and setting goals. He asks leaders to take on and succeed in a more senior role and to succeed with the new stakeholders, expectations, work challenges and complexity while ensuring that they gain needed respect, buy-in and support. Nigel guides leaders through transitions and helps equip them with the necessary skills and competencies.

Nigel is a founding partner of the London (UK) headquartered Silk Road Partnership (www.silkroadpartnership.com), which provides a range of coaching and mentoring services across Asia, the Gulf and Europe. He coaches senior individuals and emerging leaders, typically at critical transition points in their careers and/or at key moments of commercial change in their organizations.
