About Jake Gammon
I’m a researcher, strategist and senior leader who has worked across the UK, USA and Asia Pacific.
Over the last two decades, I’ve led diverse teams through growth, restructuring and transformation - and learned that clarity, transparency and respect are what elevate performance beyond what leaders think is possible.
I’ve been directly involved in leading diverse teams through a wide range of change moments, including:
Rapid business growth and market entry in new regions.
Major restructuring programmes to restore profitability.
Retrenchment and redundancy processes, delivered with dignity.
Cross-cultural leadership across UK, US and Asia Pacific teams.
Embedding new leaders and building confidence in first-time managers.
Who I am
Why I Founded Plotline Consulting
Plotline exists to help organisations do what’s right for people, even in the hardest moments.
My approach blends rigorous research with lived leadership experience, so decisions are grounded in evidence and carried out with empathy.
What I Believe
No leader has all the answers.
Empower those around you to think differently, challenge and advise.
Diverse voices matter. Representation makes for stronger and more sustainable decisions.
Transparency builds trust. Even tough messages, when delivered clearly and respectfully, help people stay engaged.
The next generation matters. I’m passionate about developing young leaders and ensuring their perspectives shape the future of work.
A Personal Note
As an openly transgender man, I bring lived experience of what inclusion, diversity and representation really mean.
My journey fuels my commitment to helping leaders create workplaces where people feel seen, respected and able to thrive.
