I believe HR creates its greatest value when it is tightly aligned to business strategy, grounded in inclusion and engagement, and enabled by technology and innovation. That belief has shaped my career. I focus on building organisations where people thrive and where talent strategy directly supports commercial outcomes. I am a commercially minded HR leader with deep experience partnering with C-suite leaders, leading teams through disruption, and delivering people strategies in complex, changing environments. My work spans operating model transformation, HR optimisation, and the digitisation of people services to improve both impact and efficiency. I specialise in building high-performing, highly engaged teams that deliver meaningful value to their stakeholders. I operate comfortably at both strategic and hands-on levels, bringing a practical, human-centred lens to every decision and recognising the people behind every strategy.
We are Kindred People, a tribe of folks with heart and ambition to support businesses to make them be the best they can be. We help organisations through times of change, disruption and uncertainty across all HR and employee life cycle services – from big picture thinking to tactical application. We help set up or fix HR functions, develop and improve policies and processes, implement systems and set strategic direction. We’re not just another consulting firm. We are ‘talent for hire’, working as an extension to your team finding solutions specific to your unique needs rather than a ‘one size fits’ all approach. You can count on us to ask the hard questions with the best of intentions, because sometimes the old way of doing things isn’t working anymore. We bring deep and broad experience across not only HR functions but across business. We don't want a ‘dump and run’ strategy - we are focused on helping you to create a plan that’s sustainable and realistic for where you are, that will ease you through transformation with tangible and lasting results. We’ll partner and lead, support and scaffold. Success for us is knowing that our job is done, when you don’t need us anymore because you’re thriving on your own. With our safe hands, we ‘get’ you and we’ve ‘got’ you…
