I’m an accidental CEO.
I wanted to be a teacher. I hated the 6th Form so I became a Receptionist. No real plans for my career then, but wow, what a journey I’m having.
HR was an accident. I’ve somehow ended up a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development.
Being an HR Director was an accident. The company I worked for went bust. I got into culture change as part of its revamp. I ended up being HR Director of the Year.
I went back to my cultural roots of the ceramic industry in 2008 to widen my HR experience. I accidentally ended up heading up a company rebrand in 2012 when we acquired a new business.
No accident that I wanted to be my own boss in 2015. No accident that I work with the best bunch of people I could ever wish to work with.
I’m here to tell my story. My story of a woman who has grasped opportunities in her life to somehow become an accidental CEO.
I’m a free thinker who believes that all people can change. It’s finding out what inspires change that’s the secret!
