I’m a communications expert with over 20 years of experience, having had the privilege to work with fantastic teams in fast-paced, high-profile organisations. My career has spanned the full communications spectrum, including strategic and tactical comms, media management, C-level advisory, crisis handling and team leadership. I'm passionate about ensuring communications is a true partner to the entire organisation, aligning closely with business development to drive success.In my global leadership role at the Behavioural Insights Team (The Nudge Unit), I had the opportunity to enhance my expertise in social impact communications. Leading communications for this spin-out from the UK Prime Minister's office, I honed my skills in using behavioural science to communicate complex ideas on a global scale across sectors like sustainability, health, education and economics. Key lessons I took forward included:- How to genuinely drive diversity and inclusion- The importance of using clear, simple language—even with experts- Balancing the power of quantitative vs. qualitative data in decision-makingCurrently, I am leading public affairs at Sortition Foundation, a campaigning organisation advocating for democratic reform through citizens’ assemblies. I create campaigns that resonate with people from all walks of life, building trusted relationships with thought leaders, political figures and activists to drive systemic change.Colleagues describe me as strategic, calm under pressure and a collaborative team player. I’m known for being open to new ideas, generating creative solutions and providing long-term vision. In fact, one team affectionately referred to me as their "oracle."I have extensive experience in both direct management and building networks of experts, and I thrive on mentoring and coaching colleagues. My career journey has been driven by continuous learning and growth, and I’m drawn to organisations that are equally passionate and ambitious about their mission.
