I have a strong commercial, business, and creative foundation having spent over 20 years in Design, Communication and PR; culminating in prestigious roles as Head of Production for Imagination (UK) and as MD of In-house Communications (UK). To take my leadership capability to a next level I trained as a coach and have dedicated my career over the last 19 years to applying my capabilities as a strategic leadership consultant, executive coach, and facilitator.

I specialise in senior leadership and board effectiveness. Developing and supporting business leaders and senior teams to lead with purpose, build robust governance, create meaningful strategy, accelerate personal growth, and place humanity at the core of their businesses; and in so doing increase corporate and financial performance.

I have built a reputation for transformational performance and thinking. I work with Executive and Non-Executive functions, Directors and Partners developing clear business strategy and meaningful corporate governance, creating successful leadership environments and cultures, planning for effective succession, high team performance and impactful communications.

My experience is industry agnostic and spans clients across the public, private and communications sectors, professional and financial services, executive search, charitable, NFP and education.

I have sat at executive board level since 1996, and held main board/non-executive, advisory board, and trustee positions since 2004. My approach has it foundations in understanding the intricacies of change and specifically what it takes to lead organisations, manage teams and the delicate nature of being a human centred organisation.

I am passionate about creating mindful, purposeful, organisational change believing that when corporate bodies put their energy into good practice, they can change the world for good, better serving the communities of which they are part.
