If you had to sum me up in two words, those would be intensity and intentionality. Having thrived in the corporate world for over 23 years across four industries and three countries besides continually fulfilling my passions such as publishing books, running marathons, coaching, writing and speaking, my single biggest learning is that life isn’t as binary as we perceive it to be and that fulfilling dreams does not have to be at odds with rocking a career. So I choose to give life my all and encourage anyone who cares to listen. I believe a life without passion and purpose is a life half-lived - so I make it my business to show up and do what it takes. It's the only way I know and want. I’m currently working on API Standards and Governance at HSBC and over the course of a very fulfilling career, I’ve covered various role ranging from technology and automation through to learning and leadership development. Enjoying a career where my roles evolve continually, some of the themes that I gravitate towards are sustainability, client outcomes and the strategic evolution of firms (& people!) trying to rediscover and redefine their d’etre. My core expertise is my agility between themes and my ability to triangulate seemingly uncorrelated information thereby taking something from a small idea through to a fully functioning solution that can run itself. I believe solutions are only as good as the people behind them and focus relentlessly both people and process. I have a deeply intuitive and curious mind with an extremely high IQ and an abstract aptitude of 99 percentile. Besides being a certified coach, prolific writer, public speaker, keen investor and a single parent, I’m also an autodidactic, an obsessive thinker and an emerging erudite.
