In my 20 years in strategy, development, operations, communications and leadership roles within the employability, criminal justice, recruitment and training sectors I have led highly successful bid and operational teams, mobilised a business in Ireland and been been part of a leadership team that has taken a business on a truly transformational growth journey. How? -Through authentic, collaborative, purpose led leadership, bringing out the best in individuals to create innovative and successful solutions. -By creating and developing teams across projects and functions, with common vison, clear goals and great communication. -By striving for improvement - seeking new ways of working which lead to more effective and efficient outcomes.-By keeping the customer at the centre of everything I do. I operate on the basis that every organisation, whatever the size, has wealth of ideas, skills, experience, and motivation, but sometimes it needs someone to help the team bring it all together. I quickly assimilate information to make informed recommendations on strategy and can adapt my style to direct, support, or undertake the actions required to translate strategy into operational reality.My experience to date has been across the recruitment, education, training, employment, health and offender rehabilitation sectors, working with a range of public, private and not for profit organisations. We primarily work with organisations who support individuals with social or labour market disadvantage and I have a particular interest in furthering the social and economic mobility of women.I bring a breadth and depth of experience across strategy and growth, organisational design and governance, communications, and operations. My commercial acumen is complemented by my operational experience, empathy with staff and service users and ability to forge trusted relationships with the people I work with. I can read a room, foster a sense of collective responsibility and influence direction of travel and action – all done with sensitivity, humility, and a good sense of humour.
