With deep experience in pharma and medtech, I specialize in translating regulatory complexity into practical, actionable frameworks. I’ve spent 7+ years navigating the gray areas of compliance—from training physicians on industry expectations to building startup programs from the ground up. I believe compliance should be ethical, functional, and human-centered—and that culture is built through clarity, storytelling, and respect, not fear. Outside of policy and audits, I speak regularly on startup compliance and love turning “boring” topics into memorable moments. I'm here to connect, create, and contribute.

I support employees to navigate HR processes in the workplace. This could be help to understand something like a disciplinary or performance management issue. I help to explain the legislation that underpins the process and try to unpick whether the employer is acting legally. I also help the employee to consider the best route through (even where the employer is acting within the legislation). I act as an advocate and support and debrief with the employee from the sidelines. Sometimes employees need help to work through an interpersonal problem e.g. with a manager or peer, or just need HR coaching and advice for generally getting through the current corporate landscape.

I’m not here to talk theory; I’m here to build practical, measurable solutions for your sharpest pains. My focus is always on delivering results, whether we're tackling high turnover or developing leaders who can truly lead.Having worked in the trenches with a diverse range of organizations—from city governments and NGOs to healthcare systems and oil & gas corporations—I know what it takes to make change stick. It starts with seeing the problem clearly, speaking with candor, and building solutions that last.
