I am passionate about helping businesses grow in the UK and around the world. I have a track record of working through government to improve the business environment, support exports and attract inward investment to the UK. I have worked across a range of sectors and programmes from food and drink regulation to defence and security exports as well as the UK Industrial Strategy. I have held senior policy, delivery, finance and commercial roles in the UK business and trade departments and spent 5 years based in Madrid as Director for International Trade for Iberia, Regional Director for Southern Europe and Head of EU Exit for the DIT Europe Network. In February 2022, I started my current role as head of business planning and performance management for UK exports. I have a Master’s degree in Public Policy and I am a Chartered Global Management Accountant.
