I help organisations build engaged, productive and high-performing teams by creating and maintaining positive, motivational and inspiring cultures -  delivered through fractional Chief People Officer (CPO) support, HR consultancy, and leadership coaching and mentoring.

With 30+ years in senior HR and employee engagement roles, I partner with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams who need the reassurance of experienced strategic people support without the expense of hiring a full-time CPO. I embed quickly, bring clarity to complex people challenges, and create the conditions for teams to thrive.

I typically support clients with:

• Fractional CPO leadership for scale-ups and growing organisations

• Culture design and activation

• Leadership team development

• Employee experience and engagement strategy

• HR transformation and people operations scaling

• Interim people leadership during growth, crisis, or transition

My experience includes 10 years at Virgin Mobile and six years at sustainable energy scale-up Pure Planet, where I grew the organisation from 3 to 200 people and built a nationally recognised culture – named as #2 in the Sunday Times Top 100 Small Companies to Work For (2020) and #3 in the Medium Companies list (2021).

I have also been running my people consultancy en:Rich for more than 10 years, supporting many start-ups and SMEs with sound people and culture advice as they grow. There’s a very strong likelihood I’ve encountered the challenges you may be facing.

I have been named among the 101 Global Employee Engagement & Experience Influencers, was shortlisted for HR Director of the Year and speak regularly at HR and engagement conferences.
