I work in aviation as a consultant, financier, and deal broker, partnering with global companies like Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer on strategy, finance, and complex transactions. It’s a fast paced world that keeps me on my toes and very much in the air, which suits me just fine. Before this chapter, I served in the Royal Air Force, an experience that shaped how I think, work, and lead, and I’m also a private pilot, so aviation isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely live and breathe. My work takes me between the UK, Switzerland, and the US, and while I’m often travelling, I’m equally comfortable operating behind the scenes with discretion and focus. Outside of aviation, animals are a huge part of my life. I’ve spent many years running and supporting charities dedicated to rescuing stray dogs and giving them the care and second chances they deserve, and my home in Bournemouth has become something of a safe haven for them and very much my happy place. I’m a single mum to one amazing son, very close to my mum, and although losing my dad was incredibly tough, I find a lot of comfort in family, my dogs, and the quieter moments. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me gardening, walking with the dogs, travelling, or unwinding with a good book or a film. Everything I do, whether in business or in life, comes down to integrity, care, and staying grounded, no matter how busy or high flying things get.
