I help CEOs and senior leaders turn strategy into measurable performance through learning and organisational development. 

With over 25 years’ experience – much of it in financial services – I partner with stakeholders to align people capabilities with business goals, enabling teams to adapt quickly, lead effectively and deliver results.

I blend best practice with my on-the-job insight to create experiences that resonate, balancing smart use of digital tools with proven human-led approaches to ensure learning sticks.

My most recent role was CLO for a Financial Services L&D vendor where I transformed the offering into scalable, blended learning for banks and FS organisations worldwide.  My earlier career includes senior buy and sell side L&D roles with organisations such as Fitch Learning, Insight Investment and Intact Insurance (formerly RSA). In these roles I gained deep sector knowledge, using it to develop targeted programmes that improved leadership impact, accelerated change adoption and strengthened organisational capability.

I am an ILM-recognised coach and mentor, and hold a Masters in Human Resource Management and a BA (Hons) in European Languages and Business.

Recent projects I’ve worked on:

• Bespoke 360 Feedback - enabling fair promotion process

• Preparing Young Adults for Work - social mobility in action

• Gearing Up to Achieve ESG Targets - raising awareness and upskilling employees

• Client Relationship Management - cross selling a new system to UHNW clients

• Banking Academy - upskilling Private Banking RMs in product and behavioural skills
