What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior people leadership roles in values-driven organisations where I can scale HR functions, embed safeguarding and psychological safety, and drive inclusive culture and leadership development.

I am a strategic, values-led HR leader with 18+ years designing people strategies, building HR infrastructure, and embedding safeguarding and psychologically safe cultures for globally distributed, mission-driven organisations. I have led HR transformations across tech, healthcare, fintech and non-profit sectors, coached 100+ leaders, implemented HRIS and analytics, and improved engagement and retention through strengths-based initiatives.

As a founder and senior consultant I have delivered people strategies for 30+ organisations and, in senior in-house roles, scaled teams rapidly, reduced recruitment spend, and raised engagement scores while partnering with boards, trustees and volunteers to ensure governance and compliance. I am passionate about supporting humanitarian and community-focused missions through inclusive, purpose-aligned people practices.
