Member Board of Trustees

Thanks for stopping by so let’s jump in.

I help high performing individuals and organizations achieve clarity, strategy, and action across three critical areas:

🔹 Personal Mastery – Mindset, habits, self-discipline, and resilience.
🔹 Professional Excellence – Leadership, career strategy, executive presence.
🔹 Business Growth & Wealth – Entrepreneurship, decision-making, scaling impact.

As a curator, storyteller, and community builder, I integrate personal, professional, and business development into a cohesive framework for transformation. My work spans leadership, sustainability, and creative expression, all driven by a commitment to excellence and meaningful impact.

For me, leadership is not just about titles, it’s about courage, conviction, and action. My book, The BRAVE Leader, alongside my articles and podcast, explores what it means to lead courageously, strategically and with resilience/anti-fragility in an evolving world.

I collaborate with executives, founders, and boards to refine leadership strategies, build high-performance cultures, and navigate complexity with confidence. I also run group programmes for senior managers and directors looking to accelerate their leadership

I am increasingly focused on businesses that balance economic, environmental, and social responsibility, especially energy, food security, wellness and housing. True sustainability isn’t just about compliance, it’s about creating long-term value while safeguarding the planet and the communities we serve. Through advisory work, speaking engagements, and coaching, I support mission-driven enterprises committed to innovation and sustainable impact.

Beyond leadership and business, I host QED, a series of invite-only dining clubs for people in my network. I’m a passionate collector of African and Caribbean art, curating stories and cultural legacies through visual narratives. Creativity fuels my approach to problem solving and vision building, whether in leadership or in the arts.

And for lifelong balance? You’ll find me cheering on Liverpool FC, where passion, resilience, and strategy are always at play.

Let’s connect if you’re building something bold, impactful, and sustainable.

DiVerse Consulting 

Through the lens of CQ (cultural intelligence) I help leaders and organisations assess where they currently are within their EDI journey. After evaluating the key findings together, we create & implement a development plan to reach maturity through the fast track.​

To thrive in an ever-changing globalising world, prioritising Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is crucial for creating equal opportunities that foster individual and organisational growth through cultural transformation. This journey needs to involve all stakeholders developing an EDI strategy, structure, governance and accountability throughout from the start.

By fostering a culture of respect, trust and openness we create psychologically safe spaces where employees engage, speak up and bring their ideas leading to innovation.

EDI needs to be part of the respective Business strategy as it benefits both employees and organisations making it easier to attract, hire, develop and retain talent.

Are you committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels they belong? Then reach out to me today to discuss how we can create this culture change together.

Diversity is a Fact. Equity is a Choice. Inclusion is an Action. Belonging is an outcome I Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) Certified Facilitator I EDI consultant I EDI content creator

Are you a leader who wants to maximise the opportunities Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) can bring to employees and your organisation? For employees to belong and diversity to thrive?  

Are you overwhelmed with all the advice and the idea of creating a DEI strategy that can make a real difference to your organisation?  

If so, I can help.     

Being part of a multicultural family combining 4 nationalities, having lived in 5 countries, travelled and worked in 6 continents, I decided to take my private take on DEI into a career transition. 
   
To make the world a more inclusive place for all, my main “WHY” being my 2 biracial boys, who deserve to have the same opportunities and grow up in a more equal world. 
   
I combine expert knowledge in cultural intelligence (CQ), my unique experience within DEI, and over 15 years in Marketing and Communications, within projects like the FIFA World Cup™ and the FIFA Women’s World Cup™.

To guide and support executives and organisations to promote opportunities, innovation and actual inclusion, to help their employees reach their full potential in an environment of trust and respect.    
Embracing DEI to create genuine equal opportunities for each of us is the only way to grow as a person and, thus, as a company for the future.     

This all starts with the leadership and company culture setting the right tone for employees and customers.     

How we can work together:     

1) A Needs Assessment:  To gain an unbiased view of where your organisation is now.     
2) A Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Strategy - A sustainable plan based on a classic change management process to create a supportive and inclusive environment of trust and respect.    
3) Strategy Implementation: Support you in applying your strategy.     
4) Facilitation of Trainings, Workshops and Masterclasses - to assist stakeholders and your DEI strategy.     
5) Optimisation of DEI strategies: Improve any areas not yet working as expected. 
6) Inclusive Leadership - A program to develop Leaders through CQ, making it more effective and inclusive. Using the CQ framework ensures your DEI efforts lead to meaningful and sustainable results.    

DEI integrated seamlessly into your business creates an environment of trust and respect where employees feel safe and able to speak up. This benefits all stakeholders and supports the Employer Branding, Employee recruitment & retention.    

No matter where you are on your DEI journey, I can help you get to the next stage.
