About

🎤 Speaker, moderator & careers commentator — DM for opportunities 👩🏻‍💻I’ve spent a decade covering the world of work and leadership across print, digital, and video. As Success Associate Editor at Fortune, I interview CEOs, founders, millionaires, and industry giants—on stage, on camera, and often, the old-fashioned way (over the phone) to decode how they made it. Since joining in 2023, I’ve become Fortune’s most-read writer, known for exclusive interviews, viral career trend stories, and rags-to-riches reporting. 📹 Before that, I started as a presenter and video journalist, reporting from the studio to red carpets and live events including the BAFTAs and the UK general election, before joining the business magazine world in 2017. In my last role, I was senior reporter at Management Today, the UK’s longest-running magazine for CEOs, where I earned a 30 Under 30 award from the Professional Publishers Association for my reporting on inequality and minority leadership in business. From profiling power players like Mattel’s Ynon Kreiz and Billie Jean King, to guest lecturing journalism students, I’m passionate about making career success feel tangible—no matter where you’re starting from.
