I combine research expertise with people & project management experience gained in the public, private & third sectors.Following an early career in the financial & legal sectors I have spent the last 24 years working in the field of Human Rights and Equality. I founded Leading Kind in 2020 to support organisations make workplaces kinder and more inclusive, and outcomes better. I know a thing or two about making change happen, so the work I deliver for our clients is rooted in experience, meaning that our solutions recognise the complexities of working 'in' the system. I combine my practical experience with an academic background in Informatics, and I am interested in the use (or otherwise) of evidence to inform decision-making. My work has led to large scale systemic change in employment practice leading to increased diversity, improved employer brand, and reduced costs in a range of workplace settings, as well as improvements in oversight and accountability that are driving forward action to address inequalities. Using our tailored inclusion insight tool I have been working with clients to dismantle systems and processes that are stopping people from giving their best and preventing organisations attracting and retaining the very best talent. When I am not working to improve outcomes for people and enhance organisational efficiencies, you’ll most likely find me cooking up a storm, walking my stubborn dog, or planning the next family adventure.
