I studied Chemical Engineering at Birmingham University and later Business Studies & Marketing at Staffordshire University.

I have a CIPS/IPA Diploma in Marketing Procurement and a stack of certificates from CIM, DMA and ISP.

I am also a graduate of Omnicom University’s Advanced Leadership Programme (Harvard University led).

Outside of work, I live in Greenwich with my husband and young daughter, sew infrequently, garden haphazardly and occasionally rock climb to relax.
