Work history

About me

I'm a strategic and values-driven CEO with a strong track record of leading growth, innovation, and operational excellence in the education and training sector. As Chief Executive of InTuition Languages, I’ve led the transformation of a long-established UK-based education provider into an agile, internationally focused business delivering high-quality language training to professionals, executives, and students across the globe.

My leadership has focused on building robust partnerships, investing in digital transformation, and embedding a culture of quality and customer service throughout the organisation. I’ve spearheaded initiatives to diversify our client base, expand our teacher network, and modernise our systems and delivery models—ensuring the organisation remains resilient, relevant, and impactful in a fast-changing market.

I hold an MBA with a focus on strategic management and organisational leadership. In addition to my executive role, I am a trustee of a UK charity and have experience as a parliamentary candidate.

What am I looking for

I am looking for volunteer roles in the areas of education and training, strategy, or finance—particularly those that contribute to strengthening local communities and expanding access to opportunity. I’m keen to apply my professional experience in a meaningful context.
