Senior Internal Communications Leader | Culture, Engagement & Change | FTSE250

About

Senior internal communications leader with 10+ years' experience in complex, global organisations — including FTSE 250. I got into internal communications because I genuinely believe it matters. When employees understand where a company is going and why, they perform better, feel more connected and trust the organisation more. That's what drives me; not the strategy decks, but the moment a message actually lands. My career hasn't been linear, and I think that's made me better at what I do. Time spent in HR, project management and executive support has given me a real understanding of how organisations work, which means I can align with stakeholders across functions, translate complex initiatives into plain language, and always keep employees at the centre of I'm working on. At Rotork I operate at both ends of the spectrum - advising the C-suite on narrative and leadership messaging, while rolling up my sleeves to write an intranet post or prep a social media update. I think that range is a strength. Bilingual English/French. CIPD Level 5. Open to senior internal communications and Head of IC roles.
