Strategic Transformation with Impact

I bring a blend of strategic insight and hands-on execution to complex, multi-industry change initiatives - business transformation, organisational effectiveness, and mergers & acquisitions. My work spans international settings and culturally diverse teams. I thrive on solving intricate business challenges and making change meaningful - so it lands, and sticks.

I specialise in activating transformation across people, technology, processes, and ways of working. My track record includes leading cross-functional, multinational programmes across Finance, HR, Sales & Commercial, Procurement, IT, and Shared Services. I draw on a broad toolkit of proven methodologies - Strategic & operational roadmaps, detailed planning, ADKAR (Prosci), impact assessments, stakeholder engagement, communications strategy, end-to-end process mapping, training design and delivery, and change readiness planning—to drive sustainable outcomes.

At the heart of every programme, my goal is clear - to create the conditions for teams to engage with change, and to equip them with the competence, capacity, and motivation to make it happen.
