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.

Creative Director and Co-founder

As Founder at Digilearning (UK Charity), I am on a mission to reach one million young people by 2026 driven by my belief digital should be the fourth pillar of education. I am passionate about making change and deem technology to be society's greatest equalizer.

Remember the library computer? It was my haven spending hours searching for books -  that’s when it began, my love for technology. Growing up as the poorest family on the estate, I now realise it was a virtue. Only when I started to believe in myself and had courage to step outside my comfort zone that my journey began. I founded my first agency 2001, aged 22 before digital went mainstream and helped many global brands build their digital footprint. After attracting investment, creating one of the leading female digital publishers and scaling my existing agency Digiwoo, one of the early social media agencies, I was named a top 100 entrepreneur. I realised my motivation lay in empowering people with digital skills to make a difference. 

I work with some of the coolest brands and people on the planet; Hewlett Packard, British Airways, Goldman Sachs, Panasonic & Ted Baker, from June Sarpong CBE, Shaa Wasmund MBE to MOBO Awards founder Kanya King CBE. 

I have a passion for inclusivity and in particular females being a founding team member for June Sarpong’s WIE in the UK and co-founding Digital Leading Ladies, a group of forward thinking ladies in technology. Yep life's a hoot and I am also lucky enough to mentor for Google & Virgin as well as being a Marketing Academy Alumni and a Marketing Academy Apprenticeship Charity Trustee.

I love to talk so get in touch and let's change the world together.
