Making sense of the mess - and getting things moving.
I'm at my best working from within an organisation, alongside senior leaders, where there is complexity to untangle, priorities to connect and important work that needs momentum.
SELECTED WORK
What this looks like in practice.
From frustration to a governance overhaul
An AGM process that clearly wasn’t working became the catalyst for rethinking how constitutional change was developed, consulted on and brought to members.
The work: Constitutional review · Member consultation · Decision frameworks · AGM governance
Turning moving parts into a way forward
In a global technology business, work rarely sat neatly within one function. I worked across leaders to connect priorities, make dependencies visible and create enough structure for people to make decisions and keep work moving.
The work:
Cross-functional programs · Stakeholder alignment · Decision-making · Change
From recurring discussion to visible action
A complex piece of work had become stagnant, with the same discussions recurring and no clear decision authority. I made the work visible, clarified actions and ownership, and introduced simple planning tools to create momentum.
The work: Decision clarity · MS Planner · Action ownership · Delivery planning
STORIES & INSIGHTS
Some things need more room to think.
I write about the things I notice, the questions I can't quite leave alone, and the ideas that keep following me around - across work, people, identity and everything in between.
I thought I had five careers
For years, my career looked disconnected on paper. Then I stopped looking at the job titles and started looking at the pattern.
It didn't matter. Until it did.
For years, being donor conceived was simply a fact about me. Then DNA testing changed what that fact meant.
You can't implement trust
I thought better communication would bring people along. It took me much longer to understand that understanding and agreement are not the same thing.
