Professionally, I have spent the last 10 years building and managing startup teams across a number of different industries, with a particular soft spot for the creativity and chaos that reigns at Series A-C (~20 FTEs - 200 FTEs). I’ve served on the board of three of those startups, appointed Director to one.

In an earlier life I worked as an international commercial litigation lawyer before I realised that the type of people that like arguing for a living were not, in fact, my people. I went on to join several startups as their first/sole legal counsel, and became a General Counsel at 4 years PQE, before transitioning to the role of COO a few years ago. 

I write stuff here sometimes. Unsurprisingly, it’s usually aimed at women, on the topic of women and work. 

Personally,  I am the type of person who unpacks on holiday, arranges her closet by colour, and owns an old-school label maker. Writing that out, I suddenly understand why I’ve been told I am ‘surprisingly’ fun… 

What you really need to know about me though, is that hanging out with exceptional women and creating ways for more professional women to find and use their voices and take up ever more space brings me untold joy. I hope you will join me.
