Summary
An energetic commercially focused Human Resource (HR) practitioner with over 20 years’ experience mostly gained within the Financial Services Industry and Professional Services. I understand the complexities of operating successfully in a demanding and matrix structured environment working directly with the owners of the business. Direct, ethical and honest in my approach, I build relationships quickly with stakeholders, in a way that secures buy-in and support for change.
Solutions-oriented, I am recognised as someone who always finds a way to deliver results, by overcoming business challenges through problem solving and consultation. Experienced in the development of strategic people plans, including the development and implementation of HR solutions and change management. Able to operate in both strategic and tactical environments with ease.
With expertise in business partnering, I offer a broad skillset spanning strategic planning, coaching, talent acquisition, performance management and change management.
