I work with senior leaders, boards, and organisations to navigate complexity with clarity, confidence, and humanity. My career has spanned national policy, organisational improvement, and the human side of leadership - a combination that enables me to translate big‑picture strategy into grounded, people‑centred action.

Over 20 years, I’ve advised global FMCG brands, influenced health sector legislation and strategies, led multi‑million‑pound improvement portfolios, and supported leaders through some of the most challenging periods in recent NHS history. My practice is rooted in the belief that better systems start with better conversations: clearer insight, deeper reflection, and more intentional choices.

Today, I partner with organisations as a consultant, coach and researcher - helping them see their system more clearly, design programmes that align with real‑world need, and move forward in ways that are both ambitious and sustainable. My work spans leadership development, board and system improvement, public sector reform, and human‑centred design.

I’m particularly interested in how policy and strategy becomes practice, how culture shapes performance, and how leaders can hold both relational and strategic depth in fast‑moving, scrutinised environments. My approach is grounded, values‑led, and always in service of creating conditions where people and systems can thrive.
