From the get-go, I was immersed in a dynamic environment where company mergers, new corporations, and frequent re-organisations were the norm.  It was a whirlwind of change, teaching me invaluable qualities such as resilience, ambition, growth, and success.

I started my career in HR, followed by a long stint in R&D, before moving to Facilities Management & Operations.  Each role brought new levels of excitement, opportunity, and substantial personal growth.

In 2013, a major company decision to relocate from Cheshire to Cambridge posed a significant challenge to my personal life. Unwilling to leave Cheshire, I strategically mapped out my next steps, pursued additional certifications, and, by 2016, secured a hybrid role that required me to work between Cheshire and Cambridge in the newly formed Operations Team.  In this capacity, I led the operational readiness for a new $1.3bn Research & Development Centre, oversaw the project management office and recruited the Cambridge Operations Leadership Team and department. 

It was an extraordinary opportunity that brought both immense challenges and unparalleled success, resulting in the delivery of an iconic, world-class scientific facility.  The project was akin to building and growing a business on a much larger scale.
