Leadership nerd, strategic advisor, AI innovator and
champion for inclusive entrepreneurship
When I started my career in software development as a Junior Software Engineer over 40 years ago, I never imagined I’d one day be leading businesses, mentoring entrepreneurs, and working to make business education accessible to underrepresented founders and entrepreneurs. Throughout my journey – whether developing technology, managing companies, or completing my MBA – I’ve learned that success isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about asking the right questions, empowering the right people, and embracing change. That’s what drives me today. Whether it’s helping startups scale, guiding leaders through uncertainty, or supporting Desk2Educate’s mission, my goal is simple: to make sure others have the opportunities and support they need to thrive.
I specialise in blending authentic leadership, inclusive innovation, and the transformative power of AI to create meaningful solutions.
