I've spent my career leading people strategy through to delivering actionable plans inside growing, complex, well-known businesses. Now I bring that same senior-level experience to your business - without the overheads or the slow-moving process that usually comes with it. 

​

I've spent 25+ years doing this at a senior level, not advising from the sidelines: leading people strategy at businesses like Elemis, Twinings and DuPont, reporting straight into CEOs and CFOs. That's included major business transformations, culture change and employee engagement - turning engagement data into real, visible action - as well as developing individuals and teams to perform at their best and positively impacting business performance. I've been the person accountable for getting it right, so I know what "good" looks like under pressure, not just in theory.

 

What sets this apart is the combination: real commercial experience, built over a career in business, paired with the skills of an accredited executive coach. That means you get more than policies and paperwork - you get a people plan tied directly to your business goals, and support that keeps growing you and your managers long after I've gone. 

​

What you'll feel working with me is the energy behind it. I'm pragmatic and genuinely curious, I build relationships fast, and I care - properly - about getting it right for your people. I love a challenge and the hunt for a good solution, and I never take myself too seriously along the way: a sense of humour goes a long way on the harder days. 

​

You get me directly - senior, hands-on experience shaped around what your business actually needs - backed by a trusted network of specialists I bring in whenever a situation calls for extra expertise. No junior consultant following a template.
