A strategic communications and brand leader with more than ten years' experience helping organisations build their reputation, engage their audiences and deliver sustainable growth.
Throughout my career, I've worked alongside CEOs and executive leadership teams to shape strategy, manage change and lead communications, marketing and stakeholder engagement. My experience spans FTSE 250 businesses, global media, charities and entrepreneurial ventures, giving me a combination of commercial insight and purpose-driven thinking.
I'm passionate about helping mission-led organisations articulate what makes them distinctive, strengthen relationships with their communities and achieve long-term success through clear, authentic communication. I enjoy turning complex ideas into compelling stories, building trusted brands and creating communications that deliver meaningful impact for organisations and the people they serve.
I’m a Partner at Oaklin, an independent, award-winning management consulting firm. We help clients deliver the energy transition, Net Zero, and the infrastructure of the future.
Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the world’s largest organisations on everything from multi-billion-pound infrastructure projects to market-leading strategies and cutting edge technology. What I enjoy most is connecting the dots between businesses, policymakers, and academia - groups that don’t talk to each other nearly as much as they should.
What really drives me is the intersection of energy, security, and geopolitics. I believe solving climate change and delivering the energy transition should also make us stronger: less dependent on fragile supply chains, less exposed to global shocks, and better prepared for whatever comes next.
