With over 5 years of experience spanning consulting, learning design, and capability building, I specialise in creating people-centred solutions that drive measurable growth. My work has focused on strengthening leadership capability, embedding cultural change, and building high-performing teams through strategic learning programmes.As a Certified Insights Discovery Practitioner, I blend behavioural science with practical execution to design learning journeys that are scalable, engaging, and outcome-driven. I’ve delivered leadership programmes across APAC, coached managers, and built capability frameworks aligned to organisational goals and long-term development.Having recently completed my MBA at the University of Bath, I expanded my expertise in product thinking, change management, and strategy through consulting engagements. This combination of academic rigour and hands-on delivery enables me to bridge strategy with execution, ensuring learning initiatives translate into real organisational impact.I am passionate about building cultures where people grow, teams thrive, and capability translates into performance. I am now looking to apply my expertise in Learning & Development, People Strategy, or Product Management, working with organisations that put people first while pursuing ambitious outcomes.
