About me

I've always been curious about understanding people and behaviour, and helping individuals, teams, and organisations optimise their performance.

After 12 years as an employee relations lawyer in private practice in the UK and Australia, I transitioned to executive Human Resources roles. I have extensive experience across:

• employee relations
• employment contracts and industrial instruments
• business partnering
• agile and business transformations
• managing complex employee issues, including investigations and termination of employment
• acquisitions, divestments and integrations
• talent management and development (including use of AI platforms)
• executive recruitment and pay
• customer centric culture change
• developing engagement and employee experience strategies
• workplace data and analytics, and
• diversity, equity and inclusion. 

I have tertiary qualifications in law, labour relations law and psychology.

I’m known as as someone who can quickly solve complex problems, make decisions with a balance of data and intuition, and partner with leaders to enhance business performance. My advice will be in plain English and pragmatic. I lead inclusively, champion employee engagement, and am direct yet compassionate in my approach. I enjoy taking on new challenges and looking for innovative ways deliver more for customers and employees.

My passion for people and employee experience and belief that engaged employees deliver more value for customers and shareholders.

My courage to address difficult issues with kindness, and to build trust through an honest communication style.

My ability to solve complex business problems with pragmatic solutions, drawing on innovative approaches and others’ experiences and being able to switch from strategic to detail quickly

My low ego approach to leadership – collaborating, not competing, to get the best outcome for as many stakeholders as possible.
