I'm a curious, high energy, positive and engaging leader, comfortable across professional and technical skill sets with proven experience of leading and scaling global teams across many industries- supported by an executive MBA.

I'm an experienced Data & Analytics Leader, connecting the technical (data, tech, AI) with the business (people, strategy, decisions).

My background is technical (MMath) but I progressed onto a leadership track early in my career and never looked back.

In my role, I work directly with leadership teams and boards to advance their understanding of data, enabling them to make more informed, fast & trusted decisions, which ultimately lead to business growth. I pitch data work in terms of outcomes & impact, not build time or complexity. I create environments where my team are empowered & thriving, making independent decisions aligned with our global data & analytics strategy to prioritise value & impact core business KPIs. We balance foundations & the jazzy stuff because you can't have one without the other.

As a mentor, I work with early professionals looking to make the switch to management/leadership, helping them understand how to demonstrate the impact of their work and shift their mindset from individual contributor to leader. I help them become more effective in their IC or manager/lead role by prioritising their work based on value, communicating their work and its impact, and finding the balance between nailing the technical and professional elements of their role across Analytics, BI, Data Science, Analytics Engineering and Data Engineering.

I ask a lot of questions, I usually have a cup of tea with me.
