About Me
I work with senior leaders, C-suite executives, founders and boards navigating complex decisions, organisational change, business growth and leadership transitions.
Before becoming an accredited Executive Coach, I spent more than 20 years leading commercial marketing, brand strategy and customer transformation at board level for global luxury and consumer brands including Watches of Switzerland Group, Mappin & Webb, Signet Jewellers, Links of London and Radley London.
Working alongside executive teams and boards, I led multi-million-pound budgets, international teams, organisational transformation programmes and strategic growth initiatives across the UK, Europe and the US.
Today I combine this commercial leadership experience with evidence-based executive coaching to help leaders strengthen influence, build executive presence, make better decisions and lead confidently through complexity.
Having spent two decades navigating boardrooms, influencing senior stakeholders, balancing commercial performance with people leadership and making difficult decisions under pressure, I understand the realities of leadership from first-hand experience.

The Boardroom Experience Behind the Work…
IFor more than 20 years, I held senior leadership and board-level marketing roles within global luxury and consumer brands, working alongside executive teams to shape strategy, influence business decisions and lead organisational transformation.
My career spans internationally recognised brands including Watches of Switzerland Group, Mappin & Webb, Signet Jewellers, Links of London and Radley London, where I led commercial brand strategy, customer growth, international expansion and high-performing cross-functional teams across the UK, Europe and the US.
Like many of the leaders I now coach, I have navigated periods of growth, reinvention and increasing responsibility. I understand first-hand what it means to:
Step into more senior leadership roles.
Influence boards and executive stakeholders.
Lead organisational change and transformation.
Build and inspire high-performing teams.
Make difficult commercial decisions under pressure.
These experiences are why my coaching is grounded in the realities of leadership—not just coaching theory. Today, I combine accredited executive coaching with commercial leadership experience to help senior leaders, founders and organisations think more strategically, strengthen their influence and lead with confidence.

Outside of coaching and consulting, I’m a long-standing mindfulness practitioner, an advanced scuba diver and a keen runner. I also volunteer with youth entrepreneurship charities. These activities help me stay grounded, maintain perspective and give back to the business and creative communities I care about.
