I’m interested in what makes organizations good places for people to do their best work — places where people can contribute, work well together and do work that matters. The part I enjoy most is understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, connecting the dots and turning those insights into practical ways forward. Often, the most important part of a problem isn’t immediately visible. It may be something people aren’t saying, different perspectives that haven’t been brought together, or a way of working that made sense once but no longer does. I listen to people’s experiences and challenges, ask questions, look for patterns and bring different perspectives together to understand what’s really going on — and what could work better. My background is in project and change management, but much of my work has always been about people: how change is experienced, how teams work together, how culture develops, and what happens when an organization is trying to become something different. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked internationally across communications, professional services, healthcare, travel and hospitality, sustainability and other fields. I’ve led complex projects and change initiatives, worked across cultures and stakeholder groups, and supported people through situations where there wasn’t an obvious answer. I also bring experience in coaching and mediation, which has strengthened my ability to listen carefully, hold different perspectives, and create space for conversations that may otherwise be difficult. Across these different contexts, my focus has consistently been on organizational development and culture, people-centered change and employee experience — particularly where understanding people can lead to meaningful improvements in how an organization works. I’m interested in places where people genuinely matter — whether that means employees, clients, members, volunteers or the wider community. Places where people care about what they do, communicate openly and are willing to look honestly at what could be better.
