Over 20 years experience in professional services firms working across a range of business operations including comms, BD, human capital, strategy and marketing. I help to turn strategy from powerpoint slides into real business value.My career experiences in the media, law and multiple roles in PwC have given me an insight into the challenges of bringing strategy to life and the behaviours needed to make change stick.I am naturally curious, a connector, listener and coach. Whatever the role, my mindset is always a client-centric one - if what we're doing doesn't add value to our clients, then why do it?

Achievements included developing the award winning PwC Financial Services Future Leaders Programme; an international mobility strategy to ensure we have the right talent in the right places to grow the business; a succession planning process for key roles; and most recently leading new ideas for improving diversity and inclusion in the network and across the FS industry.
