I am white, British and went to a state comprehensive school before studying history at university. I then qualified as an accountant with HSBC.
I have a number of years of experience in the asset management sector, working with Artemis Investment Management, The Asset Management Exchange, Barings and Nikko Asset Management Europe in senior roles across change management, project delivery, technology, financial control and reporting, and governance.
I was previously the Co-Chair of the Diversity Project SMART working workstream and I am passionate about advocating change in diversity & inclusion, with a focus on the promotion and advancement of flexible working practices across our industry. I am also a member of the Diversity Project Pathway Programme Steering Committee which is focussed on developing and unlocking the female portfolio manager talent of the future.
