For the past few years I’ve been working as part of a project to enhance collaboration and connection across our network of offices in continental Europe. That remit has now expanded to include how we communicate across A&O Shearman at a regional level, while also working with other regional leads to make sure we’re delivering high quality, consistent messaging across the globe, and facilitating effective communication.

I’m available for a wide range of contract or ad hoc corporate communications work, from Interim Head of Internal Comms right through to one-off bits of content for your internal or external channels. Or maybe a case study. Or some web copy. Or I can help with an Internal Comms campaign from start to finish. You get the idea.Since 2021, I’ve worked for multiple clients: - Helped a magic circle law firm define and launch their new D&I commitment; working in-house with them to create a comms plan, develop a wide range of content, and organise a week-long virtual summit. - Consulted on and wrote multiple LinkedIn articles, as well as marketing copy, for a start-up which is aiming to bring knowledge, insight and experience from the sporting world into business. - Worked on behalf of a leadership development consultancy with one of their clients, and then went on to work on their content marketing strategy with them, before becoming fully embedded and helping them redefine their brand, transform their marketing, and lead on content creation.- Worked with an innovative data solutions company to take their complex, technical case studies and make them easy to understand and engaging - perfect for the business leaders they wanted to approach.

I started working for KDVI in September 2021. First, it was to help them with an internal communications remit on a client project. Then I realised I could help them with some of their own content as well as advising on the client side. And then, well, then we just enjoyed working together so it carried on! Since then I've been working with them on developing a digital communication strategy, writing content, bringing in other people in my network to solve problems and develop solutions, and advising on how to communicate with their incredible global team of associates. And now we're making it a bit more formal. I'm really proud to work for a world-renowned leadership consulting firm where empathy, reflection and emotional intelligence are at the heart of what they do. They're truly helping develop the kind of leaders this world needs. Feel free to drop me a line if you want to know more.
