About

I'm a learning, development and capability leader with 15+ years across enablement, capability and transformation. Most recently I spent five years building and running the L&D function for a global IT managed services business, joining to build capability for a single practice and taking the remit to the full UK business within a year. I built it from nothing: strategy, curriculum architecture, team, tooling and measurement, with full accountability for the £500k budget, reporting to the HR Director as part of the senior leadership team.

The work covered the range you'd expect at that level. Role-based progression pathways for technical and commercial specialists, leadership and management development for the manager population, a foundational digital skills programme across the wider workforce, global onboarding, and an apprenticeship programme feeding the technical pipeline. Measurement was Kirkpatrick-aligned and reported through Power BI, because I've always thought L&D earns its seat by evidencing impact rather than activity.

What makes me different from most L&D leaders is the technical grounding underneath it. I'm hands-on across AI, data and cyber rather than adjacent to them: building production Copilot Studio agents and Power Platform automation, leading an enterprise Microsoft Copilot rollout measured on sustained use rather than course completion, and owning the risk register and audit-ready records that let capability work stand up to external scrutiny. I hold the IAPP AI Governance Professional, ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity and BCS CISMP alongside the Microsoft AI stack, and I'm a Fellow of the Learning and Performance Institute with a BCS Chartered IT Professional application in progress.

Most L&D leaders are behavioural specialists. The demand now is increasingly technical, and I bring both.
