My Expertise
Having spent over 25 years in the corporate world, the last 10 years as an executive, I experienced firsthand, as well as with those I mentored, the challenges women, in particular, face working full-time, leading teams, managing stakeholders, climbing the proverbial ladder in addition to everything at home…partner, children, family and friends.
I have led, mentored and coached others throughout and post my corporate career; hold a number of certifications in mentoring and facilitation, and am a Certified High Performance Coach by the High Performance Institute.
My Passions
I love helping women have the career and lead the life they truly want, not the one they or others “expect”.
I am particularly focused on the personal and professional development of individuals and teams with a particular passion for developing talent, culture and leadership potential in IT Professionals and for IT Organisations.
My Interests
I love learning, reading, spending time with my husband and kids, eating great food and connecting with extended family and friends.
