With over 26 years of experience in Human Resources, I’ve had the privilege of working with global teams across APAC, EMEA, LATAM, and North America. My career has been centered around strategic HR leadership, talent acquisition, and organizational development for companies ranging from startups to multinational corporations. I’ve led HR transformations, driven talent initiatives, and implemented scalable people strategies that align with business growth across dynamic and culturally diverse markets.

In addition to my corporate experience, I’ve successfully owned and operated a business abroad, which has deepened my understanding of cross-cultural collaboration and entrepreneurship. This unique blend of global HR expertise and hands-on business management has sharpened my ability to align talent strategies with broader organizational goals.

I am passionate about creating environments where people and businesses thrive together. Whether leading a global HR function, managing talent across regions, or mentoring future HR leaders, I bring a strategic, people-first approach to everything I do. I’m always eager to connect with other professionals who share the goal of transforming organizations through innovative and impactful HR strategies.

In a world grappling with environmental, social, and economic precarity, "The Data of Life" emerges as a clarion call for transformative action. As its founder, I blend over 20 years of expertise in mathematics, education and ethics, complemented by my recent 5-year journey into the field of data science. This unique combination fuels my profound commitment to understanding the dynamic interplay between human behaviour, technological innovation, and the natural world. 

My forthcoming book and ongoing work are dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to leverage this knowledge, fostering resilience, sustainability, and growth. 

Mission-Driven Approach: At the heart of "The Data of Life" resides a vision to democratise data understanding, transforming the science of resilience accessible to all. By exploring the synergies between panpsychism, embodied cognition, and ethical data practices, I aim to inspire a paradigm shift towards holistic and sustainable living. This approach not only confronts global challenges but also illuminates the path for individual and collective empowerment in shaping a more secure future.

Expertise & Innovation: My transition from a celebrated academic career in mathematics to a pioneering role in ethical data science reflects a deep-seated passion for innovation that benefits humanity. With proficiency in critical programming languages and machine learning technologies, I am at the forefront of developing solutions that marry technical excellence with ethical integrity. This dual focus ensures that our engagement with data actively contributes to the well-being of society and the planet.

Engagement & Leadership: I am committed to leading by example, fostering a community of learners and practitioners who are equipped to navigate the complexities of our digital and natural ecosystems with ethical foresight. Through mentorship, public speaking, and active participation in global forums, I champion a culture of ethical data use, continuous learning, and shared responsibility.

Personal Journey & Recognition: Beyond my professional endeavours, I find joy in exploring the arts, embracing new cultures, and connecting with the vibrant global community of data scientists and ethicists. My contributions to creating an inclusive and ethical data science landscape have been acknowledged with awards and speaking engagements, including the prestigious Women in Engineering and Computing Award at Brunel University in 2023.
