Oliver Spensley-Corfield

Oliver Spensley-Corfield is a Chartered Performance Psychologist, executive coach, and former elite international sailor and World Championship and national title winner, whose career was defined by pressure, precision, and performance.

That lived experience of elite competition is the foundation of his work. Oliver doesn’t theorise about high performance,  he has operated inside it, and now helps others do the same.

He works with senior leaders and leadership teams across global organisations; including technology, professional services, energy, life sciences, and financial services, on the communication, leadership presence, and adaptability that separate good from exceptional. His programmes have been delivered for clients including Cisco, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Siemens Energy, Deloitte, Novartis, BAE Systems, and Piper Sandler.


He has worked alongside Olympic medalists, World Champions, and high-performing professional teams, and brings that same standard to the boardroom: a rigorous focus on developing the cultures, habits, and mindsets that produce sustainable, world-class results.

Oliver’s coaching style is direct and evidence-based, helping clients understand how they think and behave under pressure, adapt their approach, and perform when it matters most.


Oliver  is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and is based in Oxford, UK.
