consulting

I bring a different set of skills to organisations across two closely related areas: HR project management and internal communications. Both come down to the same thing: helping organisations move through change with clarity, structure and a human touch.

I work alongside your existing HR and/or communications leads, not instead of them, so they can stay focused on the day-to-day.

HR Project Management (M&A / Restructuring)

I support organisations going through periods of change, building on my past experience at Accenture, where I led the People workstream on major outsourcing deals — transferring employees to Accenture while working alongside the Technology and Process leads.

Recent work: part-time HR Integration Lead for a company formed from two SMEs (60 people). I built the integration plan, helped recruit the HR lead and worked alongside her to harmonise T&Cs, create group policies, roll out BambooHR, and run their first employee engagement survey.

What I bring is the ability to structure a complex HR project, involve experts when needed, keep it moving, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Internal Communications

Over a decade's experience in internal communications, with a particular focus on consulting and professional services. I work with senior leaders to translate strategy into clear, engaging messages that land across global teams — whether that's launching a new initiative, managing change, or lifting employee engagement.

I've built communications plans for major transformation programmes, written leadership messaging, run internal campaigns, and worked closely with HR and marketing to keep it all joined up.

The coaching edge

As a qualified coach, I bring a unique edge to my consulting work. I enjoy working with leaders who are up for the challenge of understanding how their own behaviour and communication style influences the whole organisation. I help them become more self-aware and communicate more effectively.

I also offer a mental fitness programme which can be run 1:1 or with teams. It strengthens emotional intelligence, focus and resilience — key ingredients for collaboration, especially in fast-paced global teams. This combination of project management, communication expertise and coaching insight means I can support not just what is said — but how it’s said, and how it’s received.

I help leaders create cultures that are open, intentional and aligned with the organisation’s values.
