About
I am a senior HR professional with over 15 years’ experience across the UK and South Africa, including more than eight years operating at Head of HR and Group Head of HR level.
I provide practical, commercially minded HR support, building people processes, improving recruitment, advising leadership, managing employee relations risk, creating policies and frameworks, and bringing structure to fast-moving or growing teams.
My background spans renewable energy, financial services, executive recruitment and creative businesses, with experience supporting ExCo, boards, shareholders and senior leadership teams. I have worked as a standalone HR lead, which means I am comfortable owning the full HR function from strategy through to delivery, including recruitment, onboarding, performance, reward, employee relations, compliance, culture, reporting and day-to-day people operations.
I have also gained solid experience in managing complex or informal people issues which arise within a business. I bring calm judgement, analysis and a practical understanding of employment risk.
I am used to working closely with business leaders to build HR solutions that are legally sound, commercially useful and easy to implement.
