About Me

I am an executive career coach and Technical Director with over 20 years’ experience leading environmental and sustainability strategies on complex infrastructure programmes and managing high-performing teams of specialists.

I am also the first in my family to attend university and built my career from the ground up.

After moving to London, I began my career on a construction site, working in a laboratory testing contaminated land. From there, I progressed into senior leadership roles across the construction, engineering, and consultancy sectors.

My journey has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to grow a career in demanding technical environments — navigating complexity, building credibility, and stepping into leadership with confidence.

Today, I combine real world senior leadership experience with professional coaching to support ambitious professionals who want to progress, lead with purpose, and create careers they are proud of.

I understand the pressure, ambiguity, and responsibility that come with senior roles, and I support leaders navigating growth, transition, and complexity.

My Approach

I provide practical, confidential, and outcome-focused coaching. My style balances support with challenge, helping clients gain clarity on their direction, strengthen leadership presence, and make confident decisions.

I work collaboratively, drawing on lived experience, coaching techniques, and structured reflection to help individuals step outside their comfort zone, build resilience, and lead authentically in demanding environments.
