About Me

“As a transformative governance leader, I specialize in delivering strategic clarity, enabling robust decision-making, and driving organisational excellence. My ability to distil complex challenges into actionable strategies sets me apart, as does my commitment to fostering values-driven, culturally astute leadership. With over 30 years of experience across not-for-profit, public, and private sectors, I have led purpose-driven transformations, mergers, and governance initiatives that achieve sustainable outcomes. On my journey to becoming an internationally chartered company director, I bring a dynamic approach, blending strategic foresight, commercial acumen, and ethical governance to inspire exceptional performance at every level. My leadership consistently delivers measurable impact, strengthening organisational resilience and advancing social capital. ”
