“There are 4 core elements in what I do.
When we work together, businesses benefit from operational excellence, an award winning global communicator, human-first leadership and a future focussed, growth mindset”.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
I deliver global programmes and campaigns to an exceptional standard. This includes but is not limited to:
Multi-stakeholder engagement: Senior Leadership, External Communications and Marketing teams, Public Affairs and Policy change-makers, decorated Scientists, Political powerhouses, and high profile Media and Brand partners
Developing streamlined processes and utilising project management platforms for effective delivery
Comprehensive reporting, holistically showcasing successes and constructive feedback
Responsible budgeting in alignment with Finance objectives
Working alongside core departments including Legal, HR, Tech and Sustainability teams
High-level event production and third-party management
HUMAN FIRST LEADERSHIP
My leadership style is grounded, empathetic and solutions-focussed. I believe in a ‘community-centred’ approach; empowering individuals to do their best work, operate with a high level of professional respect for one another, and achieve desired outcomes to the best of their abilities.
I am trained in team management, and draw upon my study of Transpersonal Coaching to facilitate open communication between teams, moving away from the pitfalls of ‘internal politics’ and focusing on the big picture.
I demonstrate a high level of emotional intelligence fostering strong relationships and building trust with staff, partners other stakeholders to effectively lead during times of transition or crisis.
GLOBAL COMMUNICATOR
My work as a Communicator spans some of the most challenging circumstances in our time, requiring high-level decision making and sensitivity. These skills have been honed by foundational years in the fast-paced and competitive world of public relations, and my interest in global affairs. When it comes to reputation, I know what it takes to make or break a brand. I have since shared this knowledge as a guest lecturer for London Metropolitan University, and taught in-house Marketers how to ‘DIY PR’. I have delivered media training, judged the PR Week Awards twice and won coveted awards from Marketing publisher, The Drum.
My communication work centres around inspiring change and galvanising audiences into action. As a Senior Corporate Leader, I utilise this experience with engaging storytelling across multi-channel internal campaigns, and senior thought-leadership articles, newsletters and speeches.
FUTURE FOCUSSED
I believe in balancing the desire for a more progressive corporate community, with the data to show it’s possible.
In 2015 I had the vision to leave the agency world and set up my own offering, supporting the next generation of sustainable and ethical brands.
The market was not established like it is now, and this journey taught me the importance of tuning into our intuition and making our ambitions a reality.
In those years as an award-winning brand consultant, I have spoken publicly about the future of sustainable business, ethical media, female leadership and workplace trends.

5 things you won’t find on my CV…
My contributions have been noted as ‘invaluable’ and in instances where I have taken a fixed term position, clients and organisations choose to extend my contract.
The journey of setting up my own business cultivated my resilience, resourcefulness, and courage.
The three most-used words in my last leaving card described me as: calm, professional and kind.
A successful day at the office for me means leading my team with good energy, clear direction and support. I prioritise wellbeing and take an active interest in innovations which improve the working world.
As a Londoner with Irish heritage I embrace the opportunity to work within global organisations, celebrating all cultures and a spirit of inclusivity.
