I started my career in business, leading teams, creating growth in various settings: consulting (KPMG), strategy and marketing (British Steel, the AA, Centrica) and policy (for government programmes and inside the DTI's think tank). Alongside this, I did an MBA at Cranfield University, specialising in organisation development and leadership. I went on to spend two decades working independently, mainly one-to-one with people from diverse backgrounds, specialising in leadership assessment and development, creating growth strategies for their businesses, and working with growing teams.

The last twenty five years have been focused on leadership assessment with various big organisations like Virgin Media, Insight Invesment, FCA.

I have complemented my work with qualifications in executive coaching and in psychotherapy (I am BACP registered).

This dual business/people path has shaped the way I work now: clear, human, direct, and deeply attuned to the realities of leadership and organisational life.

20+ years working with Managing Directors and senior leaders
⦿ A strong practical understanding of business strategy and growth
⦿ A grounded, person-centred therapeutic training
⦿ Experience running leadership development programmes
⦿ A calm, safe, relational style - but with the courage to challenge

My clients often come when they are at a point of shift: stepping into a bigger role, reshaping their organisation, managing complexity, or feeling the personal toll of responsibility.

My job is to help you see clearly, decide wisely and move forward with confidence.
