Helping organisations communicate, change and work better

I work with organisations going through change, preparing for growth or dealing with communication challenges, providing senior support on an interim, contract or consultancy basis.

My background is in strategic communications with experience spanning corporate, employee engagement, brand and transformation. I have worked through mergers and integration, advised CEOs and Executive teams and managed sensitive issues where what an organisation says needs to stand up to scrutiny.

A lot of my work has involved turning strategy into something that can actually be delivered. I have worked with leaders to take an organisational ambition or decision and understand what it means in practice: what needs to change, what could get in the way and whether the organisation understands it and is ready to deliver it. That sometimes means challenging the plan itself rather than simply finding a better way to communicate it.

I have led transformation projects working across functions to align priorities, manage dependencies and ensure changes are implemented effectively, delivering the intended value and benefits for the organisation. I am interested in how work gets done, particularly where existing processes have become unnecessarily difficult or time-consuming. That is also how I approach AI: understand the work first, then decide whether technology can genuinely make it better.

I am also a qualified coach and mentor and work with leaders and individuals. My approach is not to give people the answer, instead I work with them to work through what they are trying to achieve and become more confident making decisions for themselves.

I am available for permanent, interim leadership, defined projects and advisory work, whether an organisation needs additional senior capacity for a period of time or help with a particular problem.
