Bio

I am an inspirational contributor who specialises in both face-to-face delivery and online learning facilitation. I support change agents in business to build compelling narratives through leadership programmes that drive action.

In my early career, I spent many years in senior leadership positions, including Managing Director of global marcoms brands in Interpublic Group, Director of Sustainability in Publicis, and Vice President of San Francisco-based agency Access Communications, working predominantly with Apple.

I worked in-house as Director of Communications and Sustainability at British Telecom where I led a team of over 50, responsible for the sustainability strategy for BT Retail, internal and external communications,as well as being the key liaison with NGO partners and customer advocacy groups. I served as the CEO’s representative on the pan-BT Energy and Environment Taskforce.

I also spent three years as a Director at the think tank SustainAbility (now part of ERM) where I specialised in strategy and stakeholder engagement and led research initiatives including how to embed purpose into business.
