I am a senior communications professional with broad-based reputation, employee engagement, internal communication and marketing experience - global and UK, in-house and consultancy.I have wide business expertise and experience which ensures that all my work is guided by the overall aims and objectives of the organisation with whom I'm working. I have worked with corporate, private and professional services organisations and run successful integrated campaigns enhancing both reputation and sales. I've managed significant public sector change projects as well as communication programmes in the field of not-for-profit. And I've built well-respected and high performing teams, confident in their ability to deliver significant and effective communications. I advise at the highest levels (CEO, leadership teams etc). My preference is to work in challenging environments with substantive communications issues. Satisfaction comes from both working on strategy and getting stuck in when it comes to implementation.I provide communications consultancy as an independent adviser and as a senior associate of Sweet Comms and of engagement agency Dialogue.Visiting speaker at the University of Westminster, MA in Public Relations - internal communications and culture, 2016 - 2024Shortlisted for CIPR/IOD Director of the Year, 2014Independent member of Government Communications Service Capability Review Team: Food Standards Agency - November/December 2014Defra - April/May 2015CIPR Finance Committee - member, 2017-19CIPR Mentor 2014/15CIPR Inside: Awards judge 2013 - 2015Specialities: Corporate communication, internal communication, employee engagement, brand engagement, change management, behaviour change, corporate affairs, communication research and evaluation, mergers & acquisitions, communication channels & tools
