About
I help organisations build high performing cultures, develop exceptional leaders and create people strategies that drive commercial success.
I am a Chief People Officer and senior executive with extensive experience leading people, organisational and business transformation across professional and financial services. Throughout my career, I have partnered with Boards, CEOs and executive teams to navigate growth, restructuring, acquisitions, cultural change and large scale transformation, always focused on improving organisational effectiveness and delivering business results.
My approach combines strategic thinking with practical execution. I enjoy solving complex organisational challenges, from organisational design and workforce planning to leadership development, technology transformation and business growth.
Over the course of my career, I have led teams ranging from five to more than fifty people across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia. I have built and transformed people functions, modernised HR technology platforms, strengthened succession pipelines and helped organisations adapt to changing business demands.
In my last role ay HaysMac, I led the People function across the UK and South Africa, supporting approximately 650 employees. My focus included implementing SAP SuccessFactors, supporting acquisition activity, enhancing leadership capability and modernising people processes.
Previously, as Chief People & Operations Officer at Ingenious, I partnered directly with the CEO and Board to lead the people agenda during a period of significant change. I delivered transformation programmes spanning organisational design, workforce planning, restructuring, technology modernisation, performance management and reward.
Earlier in my career, I held senior leadership roles at J.P. Morgan Chase, Barclays Wealth and Schroders Investment Management, leading global talent, organisational effectiveness and transformation initiatives across international markets.
