About

A commercially driven leader, passionate about delivering transformation change in all that I do. I thrive at leading teams through change, creating a positive work culture fostering high performance and delivering stretching objectives. Authentic, human communication is the bedrock of my leadership success, enabling teams to take accountability, drive momentum and cut through organisational silos to establish and deliver outcomes. I believe teams are an organisations biggest asset and ensure I provide the right conditions, investment, and motivation to harness individuals’ potential. With an extensive career spanning integrated marketing, proposition and GTM, sales and commercial, product delivery, customer experience and digital transformation I have an extensive array of skills and proven track record of transforming strategy into long term sustainable growth. I love what I do; understanding customers and then releasing organisational potential and disruptive growth but meeting and exceeding expectations, internally and externally.
