About

Over 30 years – Over 30 Countries

With over 30 years of experience in business and entrepreneurship, I have worked extensively with female founders and professional businesswomen, helping them develop leadership skills, scale their businesses, and build strong networks. As part of this work, I am increasingly supporting entrepreneurs in securing investment by facilitating connections with potential investors. I help founders prepare for funding conversations, refine their pitches, and navigate the funding landscape with confidence.
 
Whether you are seeking early-stage investment or growth funding, coaching or consulting, I provide the strategic guidance and introductions to help you move forward.

Global Coaching and Consulting

In the past fifteen years I have worked extensively on complex international projects.  Working at the organisational strategic level and coaching individual leaders.  Projects which demanded skills of observation, negotiation and leadership.  Making relationships work across cultures and knowing who to connect with are key skills for success in today’s global marketplace.
 
Because of my own experience as an entrepreneur and senior leader, supporting women leaders and female founders has always been a passion for me.  During my time as MD of GEN UK I designed and launched a number of programmes for female founders, including the RESTART Ukraine programme which has now supported 200 Ukrainian female entrepreneurs. 
 
I stepped down as MD of GEN UK at the end of 2023 in order to devote my time to supporting, developing and encouraging women who have the passion to succeed and who are excited about the next stage of their journey.
 
Outside of work, my interests include spending time with my granddaughter, travel, and being a member of a couple of Advisory Boards,
