Ross Webber has played a pivotal role in leading the development of our organisational strategy at Disability Sport Yorkshire.

Ross brought to the table a rare combination of strategic insight, clarity of vision, and an empathetic understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities within the disability sport sector. His ability to engage with stakeholders at all levels - from board members and staff to community partners and participants - ensured that our strategy was not only robust and forward-looking but also deeply rooted in the needs and aspirations of those we serve.

Throughout the process, Ross demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and a results-oriented mindset. His structured yet flexible approach enabled us to navigate complexity with confidence and build consensus across diverse voices. He asked the difficult questions, challenged our assumptions, and encouraged bold thinking, all while remaining respectful and collaborative. The resulting strategy is both ambitious and achievable - an inspiring blueprint for growth, inclusion, and long-term impact.

Perhaps most importantly, Ross has left a lasting legacy within our organisation. His work has given us renewed focus, purpose, and belief in what we can achieve together. I have no hesitation in recommending Ross to any organisation seeking a thoughtful, dynamic, and visionary strategist. 

Ross is one of the most strategically minded people I’ve met, someone who applies clear tactical objectives and forward vision to ensure the success of sometimes broad idealistic missions. He always begins with the end in sight and puts the needed emphasis on data-backed results—a corporate approach that has paid off for non-profit ventures lucky enough to have benefited from his leadership. His deep expertise in financial planning, coupled with a compelling natural warmth and ability to mobilize people and philanthropy, are an unbeatable combo.

I found that everyone who worked with Ross, me included, appreciated the credibility, integrity and accountability he brings as guiding principles to everything he undertakes—whether for multi-million-dollar national budgets, or the worthy needs of a small charity. 

During his time as the CEO at the Bermuda Business Development Agency, Ross expertly provided strategy and spearheaded business development initiatives to attract investment

I collaborated closely with him on the insurance sector (the economy's main pillar), ensuring that industry partners, trade associations, carriers, and service providers like law and accounting firms were strategically positioned to collectively attract new business.

Ross is a brilliant leader who commands respect in the realms of strategy, communications, and marketing. He excels at connecting with people and leveraging the strengths of others to achieve remarkable results. 

I wholeheartedly endorse him.

Few people have the opportunity to work with someone who is so clearly interested in helping a person grow both in soft skills and in confidence but I was lucky enough to when I worked with Ross. He has an acute ability to fit a person to a role, offering to coach and mentor through any learning required eventually leading to a confident, capable and motivated individual and team member. I thank him for doing exactly that for me, giving me the confidence and skill set to grow my career, and for still being a mentor. 

Ross is a commercial, pragmatic and driven business development leader. A strong professional networker, he combines technical knowledge with a 'can do' approach to delivery.

I had the pleasure of working with and learning from him, and have experienced first hand his ability to create a focussed, collaborative team working environment - cross borders.

I would recommend working with him to anyone. 

Ross’s work has positioned many businesses and projects for lasting success. His enthusiasm and talent for leading a team towards the achievement of its goals is remarkable and inspiring. 

He has very sharp commercial instincts, but is equally intuitive about people and personalities, and has a natural ability to build and optimize a team based on its individuals’ strengths. It is that blend of technical knowledge, endless energy and emotional intelligence that makes Ross one of the best leaders I have ever worked with.

Ross is a mentor and the ultimate team player. He looks out for his team and actively works to build their profiles among key stakeholders.

He is motivated and motivating, encourages professional growth, acts as a sounding board and facilitator for innovation, and provides wise counsel and guidance at all levels.

I feel fortunate to have worked with Ross and would always recommend him as a great leader.
