Once described by a dear client as a “five-foot force of nature,” I see myself as a rebel with a cause, an agitator, and a business collaborator. My absolute passion is to help businesses and their personnel reach high and get what they want, while at the same time navigating with their moral compass.

With over 20 years as a founding Director, and more than 25 years in the industry, I have a specialist track record in leadership development and helping companies to deliver real change.

I would say that I act as a purposeful disrupter, working initially with Executives and their boards to challenge norms and established behaviours. My goal is to shake up thinking and ensure that the outcome of that challenge is a relevant and robust system of values and mutual respect. In my experience, this lays the foundations for the most powerful decisions to be taken.
