I’m a school Chief Operating Officer with a passion for helping organisations navigate complexity and create the conditions for success. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked across education and local government, leading services that support people, strengthen organisations and improve outcomes.
This website is where I share insights, reflections and practical resources drawn from my professional experience. You’ll find thoughts on leadership, governance, organisational effectiveness and the realities of supporting schools behind the scenes.
If you’re a school business leader, COO, governor or aspiring leader, I hope you’ll find ideas here that are useful, encouraging and thought-provoking.
A Little About Me
I’ve spent much of my career working in roles that sit behind the scenes but have a significant impact on how organisations function.
My experience spans finance, HR, estates, IT, compliance and governance, but at its heart my work has always been about people: building strong teams, creating effective systems and helping organisations make good decisions.
Alongside my professional work, I’m also committed to lifelong learning and personal development, and I enjoy creating opportunities for others to grow and succeed.
