Why Spring Coppice
I am drawn to the problems that matter.
I love getting to the heart of a complex problem. I enjoy seeing how the different parts connect, working out what is getting in the way and helping people find a way through. For me, the point is always to make an impact and improve outcomes.
How I can help
Bringing energy, experience and a fresh perspective

Bringing passion, integrity and focus when an organisation needs experienced leadership and practical support.
How I work
Listen.
Think.
Act.
I do not arrive pretending to have all the answers. I listen, ask questions and take the time to understand what is really going on. I use data, deep analysis, business models and frameworks to bring structure to complex thinking. Then I work with people to create a shared vision and turn it into action.
- Understand deeplyListen to people, analyse the data and look at the whole system to understand what is really happening.
- Create togetherUse models, frameworks and logic models to structure our thinking and co create a vision people believe in.
- Turn thinking into actionMake clear choices, build momentum and deliver better outcomes for more people.
Experience
Experience matters. What you do with it matters more.
For 22 years I have worked in sales, business development, commercial development and growth. I have led large teams and commercial functions. I have developed strategy, led acquisitions, won major contracts and worked at executive and board level. I have learned a great deal, but I still approach every challenge with curiosity.
22years shaping strategy, growth and commercial development
5,000people in an organisation where I developed its first commercial growth strategy
£300mturnover of large national organisations where I have led growth
Boardexecutive and NHS board level experience
Leading at scale
I have led commercial functions in large national health, social care and charitable organisations, with responsibility spanning sales, bids, acquisitions, contracts, legal, business intelligence and commercial finance.
Building what is needed
I have created new strategies, teams, functions, tools and ways of working. I enjoy starting with a blank sheet of paper and building something that makes a real difference.
Turning ideas into outcomes
I have grown commercial portfolios, secured major public service contracts and helped develop new services that reached many more people.
Bringing a board perspective
I have worked at executive and NHS board level. I understand the responsibility that comes with difficult decisions and the importance of combining ambition with sound judgement.
Learning and development
Always learning. Always putting it into practice.
I hold an MBA with merit. It gave me a strong grounding in strategy, finance, innovation, leadership and organisational change. I draw on that learning every day, using proven models and frameworks where they help, but never forcing a problem to fit a theory.
I have also trained in Crucial Conversations, consultative selling and trauma informed practice. These have strengthened how I listen, handle difficult conversations, bring different perspectives together and support people through change.
A bit about me
I care about the work. I care about people. I care about the difference we make.
I am Amit Dixit. I set up Spring Coppice Advisory because I want to spend my time doing work that matters with people who care about making things better.
My values are simple. Passion, integrity, unleashing potential and excellence. They shape how I lead, how I work with people and the standards I set for myself. I want to understand what people are capable of, give them the confidence and space to grow and help them achieve more than they thought possible.
Outside work you will usually find me swimming, cycling or running through the Chilterns. Endurance sport has taught me that progress takes patience, commitment and a willingness to keep going when things get difficult. I bring the same spirit to my work.
Start a conversation
Have you got a problem worth solving?
I would love to hear about it. I work through interim leadership, focused advisory assignments and longer term partnerships.
