Financial Services
I am a Partner in Financial Services, leading the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team, which sits within BDO's Financial Service's ESG and Regulatory Advisory practice.
I work with firm's C Suite and Board decision makers supporting them understand, monitor and report ESG related matters as it relates to Regulation and industry expectations. I lead BDO’s Financial Services’ Non-Executive Director’s (NEDs) community, which delivers timely technical, regulatory and thematic thought leadership to enable NEDs to successfully deliver their Director duties.
Over the past 16 years, I have worked across the professional services, not for profit and consulting sectors in the UK and Australia, leading client engagement and business development programmes which includes retention and acquisition of global clients, strategic relationships and brand management.
Along side my technical role at BDO, I am an inclusive visible leader, heavily involved BDO's Diversity and Inclusion working groups and employee networks. I sit on BDO’s CEDAR (formerly BAME) Executive, LGBTQ+ network and co-lead the Financial Services’ Culture & Inclusion Group.
Externally I am a mentor with The 30% Club, The Prince’s Trust and Women in Banking and Finance, and co-lead the Diversity Project's Ambassador programme. In 2023, after 18 months of supporting Ukrainian refugees, I became a founding Trustee of Charity UKUATogether. Prior to joining BDO UK, I worked for KPMG, Adecco Group and an Australian not-for-profit.
