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 in senior and board-level commercial and marketing leadership roles within global luxury and consumer businesses, including Watches of Switzerland Group, Mappin & Webb, Signet Jewelers, Links of London and Radley London.
Across the UK, EMEA and the US, I partnered with executive teams and boards, leading international teams, multi-million-pound budgets, transformation programmes and strategic growth across £100m–£700m businesses.
Today, I combine this commercial leadership experience with evidence-based executive coaching to help leaders strengthen their influence and executive presence, make better decisions and lead confidently through complexity and change.
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 first-hand. This combination of board-level commercial and international experience enables me to bring both a practical and human perspective to the challenges leaders face as they step into greater responsibility.

Executive Coach
For more than 20 years, I experienced many of the leadership challenges my clients bring to coaching first-hand — working at senior and board level across global luxury and consumer businesses in the UK, Europe and the US.
I understand what it means to:
Step into roles with greater responsibility and visibility
Influence boards and senior stakeholders
Lead teams through organisational change and transformation
Balance strategic priorities with the demands of day-to-day operational delivery
Build and lead high-performing teams
Make difficult commercial and people decisions under pressure
This experience means my coaching is grounded in the realities of leadership.
I understand the context, while creating the space for clients to develop their own thinking, judgement and approach.

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.
