Summary

Director of Strategy & Behavioural Insights with senior leadership experience in UK health and social care, specialising in turning strategy into consistent, measurable operational delivery. At A Star Care, I lead organisation-wide service improvement by applying behavioural science to strengthen compliance, documentation quality, training completion, and day-to-day performance under real operational pressure. I design practical, evidence-informed interventions that reduce friction in workflows, sharpen accountability, and build reliable systems that support safe, person-centred care. With a BSc in Economics and a strong analytical approach, I combine data, stakeholder insight, and frontline realities to drive growth, improve efficiency, and deliver sustainable quality outcomes across teams and services.
