Your Strategy for People. Delivered.

• I support organisations in resolving complex workforce, organisational and transformation challenges where internal capability is insufficient or where issues carry significant operational, financial or governance risk.• I work across senior executive and interim leadership contexts, typically including HR Director, People Director or transformation leadership roles, as well as independent advisory assignments supporting boards, trustees and senior leadership teams.• I am engaged when organisations are managing significant change or pressure, including restructuring, workforce transformation, organisational redesign, leadership transition, industrial relations issues, or complex employment-related challenges requiring senior-level judgement and delivery capability.• My experience spans over twenty years across FTSE 100 organisations, central government, higher education, SMEs and the wider public sector. This includes leading major transformation programmes, workforce change, organisational integration and complex employee relations in multi-stakeholder and unionised environments.• I operate at executive and governance level, supporting decision-making in board, committee and senior leadership forums where clarity, pace and risk management are critical.• I work in both delivery and advisory capacities depending on organisational need: leading functions or programmes in interim executive roles, or providing independent senior input on complex organisational and workforce issues.
