What I offer

About me, in case you're curious

About me, in case you're curious

Outside the boardroom, you’ll usually find me on a padel court or in a strength session. Dubai has been home for 15yrs. I’m a breast cancer survivor it’s part of my story, not the center. I enjoy diverse perspectives, continual learning, & leaving people, places, & systems better than I found them.

Strategy to Execution

Strategy to Execution

I help CEOs cut through competing priorities and turn strategy into clear decisions. We align on what matters now, define success, and set KPIs that guide action. Outputs: clear growth choices, shared success measures, a focused execution plan, and a decision flow that keeps momentum forward.





Leadership Effectiveness and Operating Cadence

Leadership Effectiveness and Operating Cadence

I work with scale-up leaders to put clear frameworks in place as complexity grows. We align leadership roles, decision expectations, operating cadence to sustain momentum. Outputs: clear ownership, leadership decisions, agreed ways of working, and an operating rhythm that supports delivery at scale.

Digital and E-commerce Growth

Digital and E-commerce Growth

I help leaders navigate digital & e-commerce trade-offs, balancing scale & profitability and short & long-term value. The work focuses effort, strengthens monetisation, and aligns KPIs. Outputs: where-to-play choices, platform monetisation strategy, and e-commerce execution driving P&L impact now.

Future-Focused, Supporting Boards with Sound Judgement

Future-Focused, Supporting Boards with Sound Judgement

Board-certified, grounded in the discipline of governance. I bring experience contributing at board level across multinational, partner-led organisations, with strengths in strategic foresight, ethical leadership, evidence-led judgement, risk oversight, and sound board-level decision making.

Guest Speaker: Women Leadership & Breast Cancer Awareness

Guest Speaker: Women Leadership & Breast Cancer Awareness

I speak about what happens when leadership, vulnerability, & reality collide, & how women navigate business as life unfolds. Drawing on experience, I explore how challenging seasons sit alongside ambition, shape perspective, & share a calm, grounded view on breast cancer awareness & early detection.
