WHAT'S MY WHY?
The stories we tell can change the world.
As a former media professional, I truly understand the power of effective communication to inspire change and drive bottom line performance.
I have spent the past 15 years leading high impact campaigns and leading global change programs - from product launches/ rebrands and acquisitions to reorganisations and strategic shifts - all while empowering leaders and teams to better at communication.
Why? Because the stories we tell and the voices behind them change the world one character at a time.

I'm also an ardent supporter of inclusion and breast cancer awareness.
