“My focus is always on finding ways of getting the best out of individuals and understanding how to create brilliant teams from a rich pool of skills and personalities.
I like to foster an environment of psychological safety where we can make mistakes together and learn together; allyship and human-centric thinking is key to change and I love unlocking new seats at the table
Change is often slow and requires a certain amount of resilience but the fire I carry is that change is possible and I dream of levelling playing fields”
