Who is Ross Wingfield

With over 25 years of expertise in pharmaceuticals NHS, and healthcare, combined with more than a decade of consulting experience, I bring a proven track record of transformational leadership across diverse businesses. Drawing on the discipline and mindset of a former professional athlete, I help organisations achieve meaningful, measurable results. Trusted by global leaders, I excel at simplifying complexity, inspiring confidence, and driving lasting change, all while remaining grounded, collaborative, and authentic.

My experiences outside the boardroom have influenced me just as profoundly as those within it. Competing as a professional athlete instilled in me discipline, resilience, and the ability to excel under pressure. Meanwhile, coaching rugby shaped my leadership philosophy, focusing on setting high standards, fostering growth, and ensuring people thrive while enjoying the process.

Fostering has profoundly shaped my understanding of patience, empathy, and the critical role stability plays in people’s lives. It has enhanced my ability to build trust, approach challenges with compassion, and provide support during times of uncertainty, essential skills that deeply inform my approach to organisational transformation.

While injuries have brought my refereeing days to an end, the lessons from that chapter remain invaluable. Refereeing required clear judgment, unwavering integrity, and a steadfast commitment to fairness. Choosing to step away when I could no longer meet my own high standards reflects the personal benchmarks that continue to shape my professional work today.

Golf keeps me energised, while my time as Chair of Round Table—though a chapter now closed gave me a profound appreciation for community, service, and bringing people together around shared goals.

This blend of professional experience and personal values allows me to build meaningful connections, lead with confidence, and deliver results that are both effective and people-centric. I am driven by a genuine passion for helping organizations and individuals unlock their potential and achieve impactful, lasting outcomes.
