Over the last two decades I’ve lived in seven countries around the globe helping organisations to strategise and curate shared learning experiences through events and multi-media campaigns. Relationship building and bringing people together is my passion, and I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with a cross-section of industries from Financial Services to Energy, Transportation, Telecommunications, Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare. Today I live in Israel with two wild and wonderful daughters, two dysfunctional cats and a very supportive husband; human trafficking and neurodiversity are subjects close to my heart, and yoga is a central part of my everyday life. I find myself truly privileged to be part of the WorldCC, the Foundation, and a community of professionals that have the power to create change around issues of modern slavery, human rights, social justice, climate justice as well as diversity, equality, and inclusion. In my role as Chief Development Officer, I act as an ambassador for sustainable and inclusive contracting, driving global projects that can create social and economic benefit through the contracting process.
