A Bit About Me

​

I have a strong background in People, Technology and Change leadership with 25 years of experience from the Investment Banking and Technology industry.

​

Prior to starting Condor Consulting, I was a Director in Operations Technology for Credit Suisse. I’ve led large Global Technology Functions and been Chief of Staff and Head of People & Culture for a department of 1,800+. I’ve also led Operations Technology and Diversity & Inclusion across the UK / Europe Region

​

People are always my main focus; through Coaching, People Strategy, Business Consulting & Talent Development, I love helping others grow and succeed in their careers.

​

I've made a positive and meaningful impact on the careers of the many people I've coached along the way.

​

I've Been There.....

​

On a personal level, I have a husband and two young children, and as a result have been through my own return to work journeys after both periods of parental leave. I've also tackled significant role changes and promotions before and after starting a family. 

 

I faced another unplanned career break 6 years ago when I was treated for breast cancer. I'm thankful that it was a positive outcome, but the extended time away from work was an important and life-changing period of self-reflection and prioritisation for me. It led to my own decision to make an exciting career change and start my own business - I can honestly say it's the best thing that could have come out of such a bad situation!

​

Now I get to pursue the things I've always enjoyed most - working directly with people to help them get the most from their careers and map out their own, personal pathway to success.
