Who am I?
I am an accredited coach, supporting leaders as they transition into new and expanded roles, or navigate career and life changes. I have received a qualification in Integral Development Coaching, Gallup Strengths Coaching, and I am an accredited Breathwork facilitator and Qigong teacher.
I’m passionate about bringing the latest neuroscience and research into human potential, and combining it with ancient practices which bring us closer to the wisdom of the body and heart. My coaching is grounded in over 25 years of experience at Accenture, leading large teams and portfolios of work across multiple geographies, including being a pioneer in setting up new offices in China, India, Philippines, Mauritius, Latvia and Bratislava. I have lived in France, India, China/Hong Kong, and spent extensive periods of time in the US, bringing a wealth of experience in leadership within a cross-cultural context. I held the role of Global Inclusion and Diversity Lead for 7 years.
Since 2022, I have been working as an in-house Leadership Coach, coaching senior leaders across Europe, US, India, and the Middle East.
My husband and I live in the UK with our two teenage children. My hobbies include Travelling, Tai Chi, Qigong, Tennis, Golf, Textiles and Dress making.
I am passionate about human rights and justice, and I have been a trustee for Azalea for 7 years, a UK charity supporting women and girls trapped through sex trafficking. I am a former Trustee of Viva, a charity supporting children in poverty around the world.
