Description

As companies scale, informal People practices stop working.

I help growing and international organisations replace them with clearer, fairer and more scalable ways of managing how people grow, perform and are supported.

With more than ten years of experience in global People roles — most recently leading Total Rewards, People Data and Operations at FARFETCH — I bring experience across compensation and rewards, organisational structure and role clarity, career frameworks, People Operations, HR analytics and HR systems.

I now apply this experience through independent advisory and project-based work, supporting organisations that need to build greater structure, clarity and governance into their People foundations.
