About
Senior HR and People leader with 20+ years’ experience partnering with executive teams and leading people strategy across global, complex and fast-paced organisations. Experienced across luxury, retail, data centres and multinational environments, with a strong track record of translating business priorities into pragmatic, people-focused solutions that improve organisational effectiveness, leadership capability, culture and employee experience.
I bring broad strategic and operational HR expertise spanning HR strategy, business partnering, organisational design and transformation, employee relations, talent and leadership development, performance management, workforce planning, change management, engagement and culture.
An experienced global HR leader, I have led HR Business Partnering teams and supported workforces across the UK, Europe and APAC, including responsibility for an 850-employee international population. I am comfortable operating at Executive and Board level while remaining close enough to the organisation to understand what is really happening and turn strategy into action.
I have particular strength in organisational effectiveness and transformation, including HR operating models, organisational design, Workday implementation, process improvement, global onboarding, performance frameworks and building manager and leadership capability.
Alongside my HR leadership experience, I am an AOEC-qualified Executive Coach and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, with extensive experience coaching senior leaders and designing and facilitating leadership and team development interventions.
My leadership style combines strategic thinking and commercial judgement with strong relationship-building, communication and influencing skills. I am known for bringing clarity to complex situations, building trusted relationships quickly and creating environments where leaders, teams and organisations can perform at their best.
