About

Experienced HR Director and Chartered Fellow CIPD with a track record in leadership development and building high performance cultures across diverse environments. I specialise in partnering positively with business leaders and their teams to create value and reduce risk exposure across their talent strength, succession, attrition and organisational design.

With board level influence and a distinctive path into HR, I bring resilience, clarity and operational discipline but also, a deep interest in how people experience work. My focus is always on what makes high-performance possible: trust, accountability and a culture that wants and supports people to succeed.

Strategic results include leading HR through a £30M sale in the legal sector, stabilising employee relations and protecting service levels. Earlier in my career, I delivered people planning for 400 HR specialists supporting 20,000 British Army personnel preparing for active duty - insight that I have applied to the business world ever since.

Operationally, my impact includes driving a 200% uplift in financial KPI attainment by focusing on target clarity and skills development; reducing time to hire by almost 70% and recruitment costs by 40%. Alongside, I recalibrated employee benefits to reduce premiums by 30% with no loss of quality and improved reward related retention by 5% through a redesigned bonus strategy.

Open to senior HR roles and the opportunity to use my capabilities to help build businesses for the long-term and the kind of spirit that contributes to positive change management.
