She is a valued partner to leading national and global clients across executive search and talent leadership and advisory, with a focus on customer-facing roles. She is also active in Egon Zehnder’s CEO and Board practice.

I feel privileged to spend my days getting to know talented leaders and future-facing businesses and helping them shape the next chapter of their journeys.

She began her career with UK retailer Marks & Spencer, performing a variety of field management roles across general merchandise, food and hospitality.
