I joined the WJSC in 2023 as an advisor and became a Trustee in 2024.  I have spent over 30 years in Senior Human Resources roles working across the world in multiple business sectors including IT, Telecoms, Healthcare and FMCG. I have recruited, coached and mentored people at all levels. 

I’m passionate about my local community and supporting talent to reach their potential. I enjoy traveling, sports and playing golf with my family, although I rarely win!

I have worked in a wide range of sectors, including voluntary, government and commercial, including many years in telecoms roles running small and large teams. I enjoy helping people to develop their careers and to be successful in realising their potential.

For some years I worked for myself, and I hope that this experience is helpful to others who want to do the same.

I am an Advisor for WJSC. My early career was spent in Project Management, Pre-Sales Consulting and Sales roles. This gave me a broad grounding from which I entered general management. I spent the last 30 years in leadership roles, driving international Consulting, Training and Support teams to deliver successful customer outcomes with my various employers’ enterprise-class sales and marketing software. I am passionate about coaching and developing people and get a genuine kick from seeing people succeed in their endeavours. I enjoy cycling, hiking, photography and being a Grandad. I am a long-suffering Reading FC season ticket holder.

I joined WJSC as an Advisor in 2026. I have over 35 years of experience helping people communicate with confidence and lead through change, and I have coached individuals and teams around the world to unlock their potential.

My background includes senior roles with organisations including British Airways, Microsoft, Nike, PepsiCo and Vodafone, and since 2008 I have run my own consulting business. I am an accredited executive coach with Henley Business School and I am also trained in personality assessments that help people understand their strengths and how they come across to others.

Outside work, I love travelling, watching Reading FC, playing the odd round of golf, albeit badly, and getting to the gym a couple of times each week.

I joined WJSC last year as an Office Supervisor. With around five years in client-facing roles, I truly enjoy connecting with people.

Outside of work, I love reading and cooking. When I'm not doing that, you'll probably find me exploring new places and making fun memories with my toddler.

I joined the WJSC in 2023 as a Trustee and became Treasurer in 2024.  I have spent over 35 years in the Pharmaceutical and Nuclear sectors in both Fortune 500 companies and public sector bodies. I was Vice President of Engineering in my last full-time role, building and leading global teams, supporting talent to reach their potential to install and maintain manufacturing equipment in 50+ sites around the world.  I now balance some freelance consultancy with volunteering and spending quality time with my family including 2 grandchildren.

I’m passionate about my local community where I am also a Trustee of the Wokingham Citizens Advice. I enjoy traveling and exploring different cultures and cuisines!

I joined WJSC as a trustee in February 2022.  I spent over 25 years in board positions in large corporations and smaller start-ups and want to use my experience to help people in the local community. 

I also dedicate time to discussing the challenges of retirement, helping others navigate the transition through interactive sessions and webinars.

My passions are travel, playing golf, swimming and watching rugby.

I joined the WJSC as a Trustee in July 2021 and took over as Chair in June 2024. I have spent 47 years in the Telecoms Industry, most of it as a senior leader and on executive teams holding posts in the UK, Jersey and the Caribbean. I now balance some freelance consultancy with volunteering, and I became a grandad in May 2024.

I tinker with Watercolor, painting and decorating, and Gardening. I’m also a keen distance runner, although no more marathon distances, I manage half marathons and 10k races each year, injuries allowing!
