A highly commercial and operationally astute Strategy and Marketing Advisor, I have experience across industries (Technology, eCommerce, Logistics & Supply Chain, Financial Services, Professional Services, Retail, NFP, etc.) and numerous functions.
Known for championing the customer with the rare ability to articulate the big picture, I also understand the finer details of what it takes to get things done. Bringing strategy and action together to deliver results.
In my Corporate career, I fine-tuned the strategy skillset, having led and delivered Marketing and Strategy teams, programs and outcomes in their various stages in settings of all shapes and sizes (e.g. multibillion dollar GBE, 10 person boutique consulting company, global software vendor, local cinema).
Transformation and Operations Leadership roles mean I have spent the most recent years of my corporate life leading cross-functional teams focused on leading change and improving the inside workings of large organisations. I’ve also had the privilege of directly supporting CEOs and managing both Executive and Board engagement.

Run a workshop, facilitate a strategy offsite, intervene to rewire some team dysfunction or ways of working that aren’t quite working.
You need to hand it over to someone outside the team and know it’s taken care of. You could probably do this yourself, but you just don’t have the time.
You have a great team, but they’re not quite up to this one thing.
Maybe it’s even been sitting with them for a while but it’s not getting traction and you’re running out of time. It’s just outside their capability and you don’t need a whole role dedicated to it.
I call this extension executive. A clone of you in the background helping get your ideas out of your brain and onto (digital) paper for the team, execs and the Board.
You have the answers but not the time. You need the executive equivalent of air tasker – exec presence, board experience, consutling toolkit, organisational understanding and commercial nous.
Whilst there is a long list of things I have experience in…

- program delivery
- program design
- initiative design and delivery
- process improvement
- human centred design
- risk management
- governance frameworks
- organisational design
- efficiency plans
- customer journey maps
- value chain development
…it is best summed up as:
I help leaders distil clarity, solve complex problems and translate strategy into action.
Sitting at the intersection of strategy and execution, I endeavour to put my commercial and professional skills to use in business, for good, beyond profit.
I am the epitome of right and left brain working in tandem, "a unique blend of creativity and precision", both big picture AND in the detail, solving today’s problem AND building for the future. Also "known as the one who can galvanise a team around a vision", "a natural relationship builder at all levels" with "strong relationship and team building skills to boot".
I’m a truth teller and change agent, passionate about the human cost of work and the legacy we leave in the people we work with. Always up for a coffee to chat about business, leadership, cooking, wine or anything related to travelling in Italy, I typically have 3 books on the go at any time. I am blessed to be wife to a great man, mum to two energetic and extroverted little people as well as two Greek-named Burmese cats, and I’m a big fan of Formula 1 which makes for fun family viewing.
