Culture, talent and leadership consulting for organisations serious about their people strategy.

I partner with executive teams and boards to diagnose what is really happening inside an organisation, then design and lead the change that makes the strategy real, not just the slide.

Areas of Expertise

Four disciplines, one throughline: people are the strategy.

Organisational Culture

Culture diagnostics and visioning, values architecture, and the practical work of embedding culture into recruitment, performance management, succession planning and leadership development, not just the mission statement on the wall.

Talent & Leadership Development

Leadership pipeline design, high-potential identification, succession planning and capability-building programmes, informed by psychometric data and built for multi-country, multi-sector organisations.

Diagnostics

Structured organisational health, culture and engagement diagnostics that combine quantitative survey data with qualitative listening, producing a clear, evidence-based picture of where an organisation actually stands.

Change Management

End-to-end change management for restructures, mergers, culture transformation and digital or operational shifts, applying structured methodologies including ADKAR and Kotter's 8-Step model to guide organisations through disruption.

How I Work

A grounded, four-stage engagement process.

Stage One

Listen and Diagnose

I start with structured diagnostics, stakeholder interviews and, where useful, psychometric data, to build an honest, evidence-based picture of the organisation's culture, talent bench and change readiness before recommending anything.

Stage Two

Design the Strategy

Together with the executive team or board, I translate the diagnostic into a culture, talent or change strategy that is specific to the organisation's context, sector and stage of growth, not a generic framework.

Stage Three

Facilitate the Change

I lead or co-lead delivery, whether that is a leadership development programme, a culture visioning process, or a change management roadmap, staying close enough to the work to adjust as real organisational dynamics surface.

Stage Four

Measure and Embed

I build in the metrics, from engagement scores to promotion and retention data, that let leadership see whether the change has actually taken root, and I hand over the tools for the organisation to sustain it after the engagement ends.

Track Record

Consulting outcomes built on real institutional experience.

At the Mastercard Foundation, I designed and launched the organisation's first Culture Strategy and Operating Framework across eight African countries and Canada. At Deloitte East Africa, I led culture transformation and change management engagements for financial-services clients across five countries. At Living Goods, I advanced enterprise-wide DEI strategy and embedded equitable practices into succession and performance systems across four countries. Every consulting engagement I take on now draws directly on that track record.
