Why GROW?
At GROW, I support organizations by bringing calm, clarity, and expertise to moments of pressure or transition.
With over a decade in senior HR leadership across banking, fintech, and fast-growing startups, I’ve seen first-hand how demanding it can be to balance strategy, structure, and people in times of change. Having led teams through transformation, growth, and uncertainty, I understand what it takes to create stability while still moving things forward.
My approach is grounded in practical experience and a deep understanding of how organizations work under pressure. I integrate quickly, bring focus and stability, and help leaders and teams build strong foundations for long-term success. The goal is to create HR functions that perform under pressure and enable the business to grow.
About Me
With over 12 years of experience in HR across banking, fintech, and high-growth startups, I’ve led People teams through transformation, scale, and complexity.
My work blends strategic clarity with hands-on execution, helping organisations and leaders navigate change with confidence.
I bring a deep understanding of both strategic and operational HR, from designing structures and processes to developing leaders and building resilient, high-performing teams.
