25 years’ multi-industry & multi-scale HR experience in start-up, scale-up, SME & corporate.I have a rare blend of experience across this range, having held senior management positions operating in a consulting and in-house capacity. My early career was spent executing a people strategy for a world renowned, five-star, multinational hotelier. I have stood up and overhauled people teams in small and scaling businesses and led many large, complex restructures and people turnaround initiatives across large, international teams. I spent 5 years as HR Director for American Express, playing a key global leadership role in the separation and redesign of its Global Business Travel division as it became a standalone, private equity-backed business.I thrive in partnering leadership teams to create structure and direction from ambiguity, and in creating compelling employee value propositions, packaging them in a pragmatic and accessible way that works for the size and stage of the business, to provide an exceptional employee experience.I bring warmth, confidence and direction and am uncompromising in my MO: to create high-performing commercial environments which should be enjoyed enormously along the way.Experienced in:Executive HR Business PartnershipHuman Capital planning/HR strategy formulation aka working with people to enhance businessesCreating great employee experiences and great places to workLarge-scale (international) transformation and organisational redesign projects, including restructuring/reengineeringExecutive coachingInternational HR / ER processesPerformance ManagementTalent Management
