As a consultant, I create the conditions for innovation, connection, and positive momentum within and between organisations. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in international development and peacebuilding, I offer:
- Leadership and management development programmes
- Organisational culture change processes
- Organisational cohesion and healing
- Strategic planning
- Programme impact analysis and development
- Monitoring, evaluation, and learning
- Leadership and executive coaching packages
I am a sharp analyst and strategic thinker, as well as practical and action‑oriented. I have held senior leadership roles including Regional Director and Country Director, and have worked extensively across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
I have worked with and consulted for organisations including American Friends Service Committee, British Quakers, Conciliation Resources, Humanity & Inclusion, the Quaker UN Office, Sightsavers, and UNDP. I am currently a member of the Rethinking Security Council.
Guided by values of authenticity, justice, and equality, I work with integrity, compassion, and creativity to spark insight, connection, and excellence. My work is grounded in appreciative inquiry and a strong commitment to ‘do no harm’.
