About

I bring focus and expertise to the messy, complex and mission-critical human elements of change in organisational systems. With over 25 years of experience in Organisation Development specialising in Culture and Change. I bring a strategic, commercial focus to systemic culture change, capability and leadership development. I am a Culture Director bringing specialist culture insight, vision and value to both senior leaders delivering business transformation and HR teams. I bring deeply human change skills to Executive Coaching, Organisation Design, Talent, Engagement and Capability. I have led and supported business transformations and turnarounds across various sectors and contexts, from public to private, from healthcare to finance, from acquisition-led growth to crisis management. My core competencies include values-led culture and behaviour, risk culture and inclusion, diversity and equality, networked leadership and unifying culture, and business model innovation and re-invention. I combine deep organisation development and design principles with practical and agile methods to enable people to change radically and positively. I am passionate about transforming organisations in ways that create happier, motivated, and creative people that are able to adapt and be resilient to future challenges.
