I graduated from Oxford Brookes in 2006 where I studied Economics & Business BA (Hons). I went back to Oxford Brookes in 2020 to study a postgraduate qualification in executive coaching and mentoring. I work as a consultant and executive coach running Engagement Consultancy. I work with not-for-profit and higher education institutions on audience engagement, strategic planning and learning & development. Prior to running my consultancy I worked in various senior leadership roles at University of Birmingham, Oxfam and the Royal Bank of Scotland. I live with my wife and twin boys in Oxfordshire.

I graduated from Oxford Brookes University in 2000 and really wish to showcase the excellent learning environment at the university. I want to enable Alumni from the university to connect with each other as I believe that real connections are invaluable for businesses and their individuals. I have worked on local economic development, tech transfer, global programmes promoting entrepreneurship and establishing new commercial eco-system nurturing innovative companies. I am a mentor with entrepreneur societies, local accelerators and schools and a Deputy Chairwoman for Oxfordshire Business First. I love the buzz of making a difference by supporting entrepreneurship.

I graduated with a History degree from Brookes in 2014, and immediately took on an internship within the University's Alumni Relations team. Since then, I have stayed local to Oxford, other than a brief stint in London working for an international payments company. Most recently, I worked as the Partnership Manager for one of Oxford's largest international summer schools, Oxford Royale Academy, a role which involved regular and varied global travel. Like many others, I have found myself placed on furlough during the Covid-19 pandemic, but have kept busy by volunteering with a range of charities, including as a delivery driver for the local food bank.
