  My professional experience includes over 20 years in senior HR roles operating across all aspects of human resource management at a strategic and operational level in complex and diverse businesses. My expertise incudes the ability to apply my generalist knowledge and substantial experience to provide pragmatic advice and to implement useful HR-related policies, practices and programmes. I am passionate about supporting others to release their full potential and firmly believe that, amid changes in workplace conditions and the economy, building an engaging workplace with great managers remains centrally important to an organisation’s success. It’s important to me that I invest my energy in an organisation that is doing work which has a positive community impact and has leaders worth following, with a clear vision and who act with integrity.
