Additional Information

With over two decades of experience as an Executive Assistant to C-Suite executives, I have honed my skills in managing high-level administrative functions and providing comprehensive support to ensure the smooth operation of executive offices.

In the last four years, I have had the privilege of leading various Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) initiatives, as well as transitioning into a role focused on Social Value. My work in these areas has involved spearheading projects and initiatives aimed at fostering inclusive environments and driving positive change within our complex communities. These experiences have further refined my leadership abilities, strategic thinking, and capacity to work collaboratively with diverse stakeholders.

While I have not had the opportunity to attend university and obtain a formal qualification, I firmly believe that my extensive lived experience and the practical knowledge I have gained over the years have equipped me with a unique and valuable perspective. My hands-on experience has not only provided me with a deep understanding of organizational dynamics but has also fostered my adaptability and problem-solving skills, which I believe are crucial for success in any role.
