Fractional HR | Leadership Coach | Helping overwhelmed people managers become great leaders

As an ambitious SME leader, you're facing a common challenge: your business growth is being held back by leadership bottlenecks. Perhaps you're trapped in day-to-day operations instead of focusing on strategic growth. Or everything requires your approval, your managers lack confidence, or you don't have the people strategy you need to support your growth plans. I get it. With over 20 years of experience in senior HR roles, I've seen how these challenges can stall even the most promising businesses. The good news is you can overcome them with the right strategic partnership. I help ambitious SMEs develop their people leadership capabilities to build high-performing teams that drive business success. Working with established businesses, typically with 15-50 employees who have clear growth plans, I focus on creating cultures where managers lead confidently and authentically – enabling you to focus on growth rather than firefighting people problems.
