35 years in consulting. Now focused on AI.
I’ve spent 35 years in management consulting, leadership development, and international business — C-suite positions, cross-border projects, and over 15 years at the heart of the global entrepreneurship ecosystem, across 30+ countries.
At every stage, my focus has been the same: clarity of purpose and strong human connection are what move businesses forward. That’s still true now — and it’s why my approach to AI puts people, judgement, and trust at the centre.
What I do now
I help experienced founders and leadership teams adopt AI without losing control of quality, tone, or trust. My focus is practical, reputation-safe adoption: choosing the right tasks to delegate, selecting the right tools with sensible boundaries, and writing the right instructions so outputs stay accurate, on-brand, and genuinely useful.
My approach is built around a simple framework:
- Right tasks — choose what to delegate to AI and what stays human
- Right tools — select platforms with sensible boundaries
- Right instructions — brief AI so outputs stay accurate and on-brand
- Plus review — a clear sign-off step to protect your credibility
This underpins everything I do: 1:1 clarity sessions for founders, working sessions for leadership teams, and AI safe practice advisory for organisations.
Background
My consulting career spans C-suite positions and international projects across 30+ countries, including eight years in the Middle East. As Managing Director of GEN UK, I designed and launched programmes for entrepreneurs, including RESTART Ukraine, which has supported over 200 Ukrainian female founders.
I stepped down from GEN UK in 2023 to focus on the work that matters most to me now: helping experienced leaders and teams make confident decisions about AI, with clarity, structure, and human connection at the centre.
Because of my experience in the Global Entrepreneurship Network and the opportunity to meet so many inspiring small and micro businesses, I have recently partnered with the B1G1 initiative. This means that every time I do business with you, I make a donation on your behalf to support a micro-enterprise or vocational training project — making a positive impact in communities around the world.
I also lead WIBN – Women in Business Network London Central & South structured, relationship-led networking for professional women and female founders.
Outside work, I enjoy time with my granddaughter, travel, and contributing to a number of advisory boards.
