My Story

A proven global leader of purpose-driven, sustainable consumer businesses. Highly successful with strategic transformations, talent development and all aspects of business operations in the USA, Asia and Europe. A marketer, a buyer and a retail merchant … but more than that, a much sought after thought-leader in purposeful business.

Since 2006, I’ve found my North Star in purpose-driven businesses, where I have led triple bottom line thinking and measures of success in iconic companies. Naturally commercially savvy, there has always been a focus on the bottom line – but how the business gets there, with consideration of the social and environmental impact and making that a distinctive proposition, has been just as important. Most of my work has involved some degree of turnaround and I have proven able to not only spot opportunities to grow, but to figure out how to enable the business to realize those opportunities.

I am known for creating challenging but supportive environments where talent can develop and flourish, and I have left a legacy of great people everywhere I have worked. I am also known for my passionate support of the retail channel - retail needn’t be seen as the job of last resort; it can offer a fast-paced, exciting career with lifelong learning and personal growth.

A well-regarded thought leader on sustainable brands and a keynote speaker at COPs and other major conferences around the world.
