Hello. I’m Ewan!
I’m a Strategic Transformation Leader, specialising in working with large organisations and complex environments.
After finishing my most recent full-time assignment as Chief Transformation Officer of a bank in the Gulf, I established New Era Digital Partners as an advisory firm offering consulting services for banks and FinTechs.
I created New Era Digital Training as a separate division in response to the demand for executive training services for many of the Gulf’s most forward-thinking organisations.
I would love to discuss your upcoming training needs: Please contact me and let’s discuss your ideas!

Executive Training
I’m an engaging, enthusiastic and authoritative presenter, accustomed to presenting in person or virtually.
Working with Senior Executives
My background as a practitioner, and as an active advisor to many of the world’s largest banks and FinTech companies, enables me to offer compelling insight and examples based on direct experience.
I speak from a position of authority as someone who has specifically implemented many of the approaches I discuss, and who has been in the same shoes as many of the executives I am presenting to.
Working with Emerging Leaders
I have considerable experience working with emerging leaders in my capacity as a senior transformation executive. Being able to help my teams grow and develop has been a critical aspect of my digital transformation work.
I am able to draw upon countless personal leadership examples and case studies, ensuring my training sessions with emerging leaders are exciting, engaging and thoroughly relevant.
