Having spent my whole career working in the HR and people development space across large international commercial organisations and smaller independents & SME’s, I’ve learnt that the key factors that make the real difference to organisational performance are strength and style of leadership, engaged and motivated employees, and a positive cultural context.

I’m a strategic HR leader and commercial business partner with 30 years’ experience gained in a variety of market sectors and industries including Outsourcing, Manufacturing, Charity, Education, Retail and Customer Service.

I’m a confident, outgoing, tenacious and loyal professional, with a real passion for designing integrated HR strategies & solutions aligned to the organisation’s needs. A mentor & change agent with a results & performance focus and international multi-cultural experience & understanding.

I’m a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (FCIPD) and Co-Chair of the CIPD West of Scotland. I’m a qualified Mental Health First Aider, with a coaching skills qualification and experience of applying various personality & psychometric profiling & development tools including SHL, MBTI, Belbin, 4 Room Apartment, Situational Leadership, DISC, and Predictive Index. I’m also a passionate menopause campaigner, with a mission of removing the stigma and opening up the conversation around menopause within workplaces.
