Fractional HR / HR Advisory
For me, people are at the heart of every great business. As an experienced people professional, I've supported businesses of various sizes and growth stages with their organisation design, talent investment roadmap, recruitment, OKRs, team development and culture and leadership skills.
Step-change through High-Performance Collaboration
I help teams step-change the way they collaborate. I do this by creating more clarity about their purpose as a leadership team, clarifying their strategic intent, activating the collaboration practices and refining their ways of working. The result is more clarity, alignment and intentionality.
Change Management Expertise
Any change your organisation is experiencing impacts your people - whether you're growing your team rapidly after a raise, having to pivot your strategy or moving to a different organisational structure. I support Founders with managing the people side of change and leading effectively.
Board Advisory / NED
I'm an experienced Trustee and have worked closely with CEOs, board members and C-suite leaders throughout my corporate and consulting career. I'm familiar with both corporate & charity governance and bring expertise in strategy, change management, culture, procurement and people management.
