Work history

About me

I am an experienced compassionate authentic Leader. With 14+ years' experience within the telecommunications industry and L&D world, this includes operational environments, people management and training and development at various levels. I have a wide portfolio of flexible, interchangeable skills. I am a dynamic, committed and highly motivated leader capable of working in diverse environments and teams.

In addition to my work life, I also have extensive volunteering experience with over a decade supporting young people of all ages from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is an important part of my purpose. I am passionate about supporting and enabling individuals to reach their full potential, whilst tackling the challenge social mobility places on our society.

What am I looking for

I'm looking for my first Trustee role ideally in where I can feel i'm fulfilling my purpose and the opportunity to gain additional skills and experience. I'm flexible about what sort of charity this is, big, small, new-ish or well established. What is important to me is that it's a charity with a big heart, one that puts people first, and somewhere that is dynamic in it's approach to achieving its mission/strategy, with core values embedded across the team.
