Stronger teams. Clearer processes. Better outcomes.

TL;DR

I’m an HR, operations, and coaching consultant with over 20 years of hands-on experience across in-house and consultancy roles. I’ve worked with national, international, and SME clients in sectors including SaaS, biotech and pharma, education, culture, and not-for-profit, with deep experience in mergers, acquisitions, and organisational change. I hold postgraduate qualifications, including a Master’s in Cyber Psychology, and bring strong expertise in psychometrics, coaching, and career development — delivering practical, evidence-based solutions with measurable results.

I bring over 20 years of experience working in senior in-house HR roles and as a trusted consultant, supporting organisations through growth, change, and complexity. I work with national, international, and SME clients. These clients are in the private, education, cultural, and not-for-profit sectors. I have deep experience in fast-paced environments. This includes SaaS, biotech, and pharmaceutical organisations.

A core part of my work is developing confident, capable managers who can lead effectively through change. I’ve played a hands-on role in mergers, acquisitions, and large-scale transformation initiatives, helping businesses integrate teams, align cultures, and maintain performance during periods of significant transition. From scaling SaaS teams to supporting highly regulated biotech and pharma organisations, I combine leadership development with practical HR and commercial expertise — delivering results where the stakes are high and strong management really matters.
