Founder and managing consultant, Kiwi and Londoner, residing on the Kent coast, I started my career in IT at Diageo and British Petroleum, followed by a role in sales, moved into recruitment, then management consultancy at EY. I started my first recruitment consulting business in 2003.

I’ve worked in executive search, predominantly in financial services and professional services, for 30+ years and have built an extensive knowledge of UK and global organisations, business functions and careers.

Qualified and accredited as a cognitive behavioural coach, with an advanced diploma in cognitive behavioural coaching and full member of the Association for Coaching; I began coaching in 2018, following a definitive experience coaching women into leadership in the insurance sector. The results spoke for themselves. As a recruiter I’ve focused on the appointment of an individual into a role; as a coach I facilitate the individual’s development into and effectiveness in the role.

My coaching experience includes onboarding new appointees, career transition and talent mobility, performance improvement, upskilling in emotional intelligence and leadership skills. Working with the coachee, I provide a space for self-reflection, using assessments to build self-awareness and cognitive behavioural methods to reframe self-limiting beliefs and behaviours. A future focus is maintained through goal setting and creating new guiding principles to support the coachee’s breakthrough themes.
