More about me
I have been working in HR since I graduated in 1998.
Growing up in London, I started my career in the corporate world of Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) and then Sotheby's, where I was fortunate to have been exposed to the full range of generalist HR challenges and to learn from some fantastic and experienced HR professionals.
I gained my Masters in HR Management in 2002 and have been a member of the CIPD since 2000.
In 2003 I relocated to Pembrokeshire and set up as an independent HR consultant which developed into a busy consultancy providing support to SME's across Wales. I became an Investors in People specialist and became actively involved in the Chartered Management Institute in west Wales, becoming the first woman to gain Chartered Management status in 2010.
In 2012 I merged my consultancy with Landsker Business Solutions, enabling me to expand my consultancy work to include business management and marketing.
In 2015 I moved back into an employed role leading HR and operations for a global alliance of civil society organisations, working remotely with colleagues based in 15 different countries and with three international entities.
Most recently I have been working back in Pembrokeshire for the leading west Wales social care provider, establishing a new HR function to support the expansion of the group of companies; setting up a pay and grading structure; and supporting the Directors with strategy development and expansion.
I have extensive experience as a non-executive voluntary board director, board Chair and trustee and throughout my career I have developed a strong working knowledge of governance.
Pembrokeshire has been home for over 20 years and my life outside of work revolves around the fantastic environment we live in - whether on or in the water or enjoying the spectacular coastal scenery.
In 2015 my husband and I set up a small campsite which we continue to run with the help of our two children - Point Farm Campsite in Dale.
Experience
Over the last 25 years I have worked in and with a diverse range of organisations across various sectors including the arts, healthcare, energy, engineering, FMCG & manufacturing, international development, marine & fisheries, not for profit & charities, social enterprises, social care, tourism & hospitality. With global experience at director level I have also developed experience in navigating the complexities of employing staff internationally.
Although my experience is centered around generalist HR, my career has spanned organisational design, governance, leadership and management, operations, budgeting and financial management, marketing and communications, and safeguarding.
