BIO
Strategic Connector | Education & Innovation
I specialize in connecting the dots between policy, practice, and innovation; translating complex challenges into actionable solutions that drive real-world impact. Having lived and worked in multiple countries, I bring a global perspective to the intersection of technology, education, and entrepreneurship, with deep experience spanning governments, education systems, and startups across continents. I've worked at every level from classroom teacher to global program leadership, from founding my own company to advising venture capital, from academic research to hands-on policy implementation. My superpower lies in asking the strategic questions that move complex projects forward and in precision networking: connecting exactly the right expertise with exactly the right opportunity. I create value by building bridges between worlds that don't naturally connect. Beyond work, I'm a mother, former Vice-Chair of a school governing board, former trustee of a music education charity, home chef, gym junkie, traveler and learner.
WORK WITH ME
Expertise. Commitment. Experience.
LEARNING PROGRAMME DESIGN
Design and delivery of programmes for adult learners, from workshops to accelerators and incubators, I help organisations create programmes that drive outcomes.
RESEARCH, EVALUATION AND IMPACT MEASUREMENT
Help organisations define their intended impact and develop the questions, methods, and frameworks to measure it. From user co-design to data analysis to policy recommendations, I turn evidence into actionable insights.
STRATEGIC ADVISORY AND GOVERNANCE
Advisory services for boards, government bodies, and organisations navigating complex stakeholder landscapes. I provide independent expertise on workforce development, policy implementation, and organisational strategy, helping leaders make evidence-based decisions that balance competing interests.
POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
Support for governments, international organisations, and public bodies developing and implementing education, skills, or technology policy. From drafting policy recommendations to designing implementation frameworks, I help translate policy intent into practical action at scale.
CROSS SECTOR PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY
Build bridges between sectors that don't naturally connect - government and industry or academia, startups and policymakers. I specialise in identifying strategic partnerships that create mutual value and designing collaboration frameworks that work.
