Although I have been fortunate enough to travel
to many weird and wonderful places for work,
probably the most surreal was Buckingham Palace
with Winnie the Pooh!

I’d be an architect. I’ve always enjoyed the beauty
of structures and how they require creativity and
science to work.

“The story is in the numbers” was a previous boss’s
mantra and one I hold on to. Telling stories is what
we do, be it across the world or in a one-to-one
meeting, regardless of the scale, having concrete
substance is what makes a story resonate.

J Sheeky. It’s part of the London establishment
and is a little hidden away in Covent Garden
which is part of its charm. The back room is
where you want to be as it’s always filled
with the most interesting celebrities and
politicians.

The pandemic has brought me two obsessions – a
Peloton and puppy, both are part of my daily
routine and help me unwind and reset.

Instagram is my most used app. I started posting
so my family knew where I was and what I was doing
in the world at any time. And now it’s become a
record of my personal journey – I post for myself
and often look back to see where I’ve been, doing
what and with who.

Everywhere and anywhere! I love travelling as it
really does feed my soul. The more vibrant and
different a country is to the UK, the more
inspired I am. I have been fortunate enough to
travel extensively but not across South America
– so that’s high on my list to experience next.

I have been part of the Human Lending Library at
The British Library, mentoring start-up companies
and helping individuals fulfil their ambitions.
