About

I am a commercially focused Chief People Officer and transformation leader with more than 30 years' experience helping organisations scale, transform, and achieve sustainable growth across private equity-backed, multinational, digital, technology-enabled, and regulated environments.

Throughout my career, I have partnered closely with CEOs, founders, Boards, and investors to build high-performing organisations, strengthen leadership capability, and align people strategy to commercial objectives. I am particularly passionate about helping businesses navigate periods of significant growth and change, creating the people, culture, and organisational foundations required to support long-term success.

My experience includes building and scaling People functions, leading organisational design and operating model transformation, developing leadership capability, and driving culture change across complex international organisations. I have successfully led a 250% workforce scale-up within 18 months, implemented global HR operating models and technology platforms, delivered significant cost efficiencies through transformation and integration programmes, and improved employee engagement, retention, and organisational performance in high-growth environments.

Most recently, I have been advising founder-led, private equity-backed, and growth-stage organisations on people strategy, organisational effectiveness, leadership development, workforce planning, and transformation. This has included supporting businesses through rapid scaling, organisational redesign, acquisitions, and cultural transformation, while ensuring the people agenda remains aligned to commercial priorities and business performance.

I am known for combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I enjoy operating in fast-paced environments where there is ambiguity, complexity, and the need to build scalable frameworks and structures from the ground up. Whether establishing a People function, developing leadership capability, designing operating models, or shaping culture, I focus on creating practical solutions that enable organisations to grow while maintaining engagement, accountability, and performance.

The opportunity to help build and scale a People function within a high-growth, founder-led organisation is particularly attractive to me. I enjoy working closely with founders and executive teams to create the culture, leadership capability, and organisational infrastructure that allows businesses to move successfully through their next phase of growth and ultimately achieve their long-term ambitions.
