About

>>> Working at Warwick Business School. Advising clients on developing strategic leadership and specialist programmes, and additionally coaching senior leaders >>> Having just turned 30, I was involved in a massive McKinsey change programme that transformed our region pretty much overnight, from selling transactional products to providing consultancy services. Making that transition led to a career change, into something more about people than process. Now working in HR Services, I've been involved in headhunting, resourcing, assessment, expat, coaching, training, outsourcing, membership, events - and now learning and leadership development.
