A senior operational leader with >15 years’ experience working at the right hand of Executive teams, I have a wealth of expertise in strategic planning, transformational change, programme management, governance and MI, internal communications and employee engagement. In my time at Sky, early marketing roles lead to positions as Head of Strategic Projects, leading high-profile, enterprise-wide transformation programmes, and Head of Planning, a role that encompassed a full Chief of Staff remit, where I supported the UK Exec to develop, communicate and operationalise an ambitious new strategy, and played a key role in strategic change programmes. In addition, I led high-profile initiatives for the UK Exec, including Women in Leadership and a Strategic Retail Programme that fundamentally transformed Sky’s retail footprint across the UK.♦ I accelerate business strategy and goals, as an expert advisor and facilitator at C-level, driving best-in-class planning, development and operationalisation of strategic roadmaps that achieve growth and transformation. ♦ I mobilise cross-functional stakeholders to achieve critical change, as a respected interface between Exec teams, team leaders and large, matrixed workforces, with a wealth of expertise in programme management.♦ I create award-winning organisational cultures, with deep experience in driving significant step change in workforce effectiveness, employee well-being, and diversity and inclusion.
