Building relationships
I am at my absolute happiest when working with ambitious individuals and teams who are utterly passionate about the potential of their business. I partner with those leaders and teams to weave together the right organisation shape & size, capabilities, culture, people and ways of working to support their business plan.
My professional happiness is topped up to max when a leader or team has that “aha” moment as people & organisational insights morph into new solutions and opportunities. There is little to beat that feeling.
Background
I am a seasoned people strategist with over two decades crafting & delivering impactful people strategies. I’ve learned my trade in multiple contexts including organisations like Google, Vodafone, Snow Software, and Citrix, as well as scale ups in the Mercia Ventures family. I’ve honed my know-how through hard-won achievements & failures, an MBA and executive coaching certifications.
I am also a neuropsychologist, with a MSc in Applied Neuroscience. Neuropsychology allows me to bring innovative, science-based tools and techniques into the day to day, helping leaders figure out how to improve team climate, manage emotions, recognise unhelpful cognitive patterns or simply build the personal resilience to stay the course.
Originally from Dublin and now based in North London, I have two sons and a dog called Missy. I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to medieval history and have been known to get very excited about gothic architecture or medieval illuminated manuscripts!
