About
I help purpose-led organisations build people functions that scale without losing what makes them special. Over 15 years I've taken three climate and social-impact businesses from 30 to 250+ people, designed values-led reward frameworks, and coached founders through their first leadership team. I work best two days a week, embedded with your team — part strategist, part hands-on operator.
- Scaled People at a B Corp heat-pump installer from 40 → 260 staff
- Designed a transparent pay framework adopted by 6 climate start-ups
- CIPD Chartered Fellow · Mental Health First Aid instructor
