Over the past 30+ years, I’ve built my career as a commercial and operational leader across hospitality, leisure and travel. In every role, my consistent focus has been on driving sustainable growth and leading strategic transformation, ensuring every decision supports exceptional experiences for guests and owners alike.

I’ve held senior leadership positions with several award-winning businesses, building broad expertise across sales, marketing, revenue management and operations. Those experiences have shaped a practical, customer-focused approach to commercial strategy, bringing teams together around clear priorities and rolling my sleeves up to turn plans into measurable results!

I’m known for combining commercial rigour with calm, people-centred leadership, building trusted partnerships, breaking down silos and creating environments where teams can thrive. In my role as Commercial Director at Kew Green Hotels, I’m passionate about supporting the next generation of hospitality professionals, helping people develop their careers, confidence and craft in an industry that offers such variety and opportunity.

At the heart of my approach is collaboration: working together, sharing insight and building aligned, high-trust teams that deliver for guests, colleagues and partners.
