She has worked as an organisation development specialist in large organisations and has over twenty years’ experience of working as a consultant to top level executives in international public and private sector companies. As the Director of Learning Solutions at London Business School, she worked with organisations, including NHS England, to design customised programmes to meet the specific needs of the employees.
