I am a highly motivated, well organised, driven individual with a can do attitude. I have managed a multitude of projects and large budgets.

I have extensive experience in fast paced environments, navigating corporate clients and cross managing projects between waterfall and agile teams. I was the first point of contact for recruiting and making investment decisions for Oracle Corp here in the UK startup ecosystem for two years, which identified technology startups/entrepreneurs with fast growth potential.

Helping businesses with the best ideas gain market share and generate economic impact and creating the right connections are skills that I have honed.

Previously to this, I have over 15 years experience in Film and TV - Producing and Programme Management - I have quick turnaround documentary/factual experience; have worked with contributors, talent, children, vulnerable people and marginalised community groups extensively.

I am the Chair of the Bristol Tech Festival Steering Committee, NED for @Gapsquare, an Advisory Board member for TechSPARK & TedXBristol and former Advisory Board for Bristol YMCA.

Shortlisted for Mentor of the Year @Women in Tech UK, and winner of SW Mentoring Awards 2019 & winner of Lifetime Achievement Award for demonstrable impact on SW UK Tech sector.

I believe that Technology, Arts & Culture are integral to everyone and bring huge benefits, socially, economically and emotionally. I have a social conscience; I'm an advocate of environmental sustainability, equality and diversity are paramount in all I deliver and I am passionate about education and immersive/interactive inclusive learning.

With a proven track record in managing relationships and partnership working globally and champion responsible and sustainable recruitment opportunities and the breaking down of social barriers in the High Tech/Creative sectors.
