I'm a skilled business leader with extensive experience in banking at senior management level. I have key skills in developing and managing businesses, projects and people. Strong strategic skills, together with analytical and leadership skills, mean that I am able to contribute to organisational development, change and growth. My forte is achieving results through people.In 2001, I made a conscious decision to leave the corporate world to challenge myself to run my own business, which I did for 16 years. I have now joined the education sector in order to utilise the extensive skills and experience that I have gained in my career to contribute to this critical element of children's lives.
