As an Employment Engagement Governor and a Board Member of PQMS, I contribute to the strategic direction and oversight of a leading provider of apprenticeships and vocational training. With my experience as an employer of apprentices and a certified professional in safeguarding and learning, I support the quality and relevance of the programmes and the well-being of the learners and staff.Previously, I was the Managing Director of HRtechX, Northern Europe's leading HR Tech conference, where I formulated and executed the strategy that propelled it into a globally recognised event for HR Professionals. I also led a high-performing team of 22 at Hyperoptic, one of the UK's fastest-growing broadband providers, overseeing all aspects of the employee life cycle from talent attraction to offboarding. In dynamic, high-growth environments, I leveraged my skills as a builder, initiator, and creative problem solver to establish and steer thriving HR teams and deliver substantial value to the stakeholders.
