Effective communications strategies are often born in contested situations, so I aim to draw on my varied experience of organisational challenges or crises to advise my clients in good times and bad.
I enjoy working closely with clients to find a mid-point between media relations and stakeholder engagement to develop a balanced approach that delivers positive results. Between Charlotte Street Partners and nine years working in London, highlights have included everything from securing government approval for major energy projects, leading award-winning public engagement campaigns, assisting listed and private companies with significant financial milestones, and responding to serious reputational issues on an international scale.
In 2025 I was named in Mace Magazine’s ‘Top 100 political consultants 25/26.’ I am also a trustee of the John Kirkhope Young Endowment Fund, and when I’m not at work, I can be found inexpertly chasing a ball around a football pitch, arguing that snowboarding is still cool, or being laughed at by my three-year-old.
