About me:

I joined the NHS as a super-enthusiastic trainee management accountant in 1989. Over the next 30 years I worked in multiple NHS provider and commissioning organisations and for the Government of Jersey, in a variety of roles including: finance, contracting, communications and programme management. My last role in the NHS was as a Chief Finance Officer/Deputy Chief Officer.

Within my professional life, there are three things I’m passionate about:

• Best possible value in the delivery of public services;
• Compassionate leadership;
• Helping people to be their best selves.

I have worked as a consultant and interim since 2018, which is when I began working with 4OC as an associate consultant. Because of 4OC’s strong social values and their inspirational, hard-working, and supportive team, I jumped at the chance to join 4OC on a permanent basis in July 2021.
