About

Leading the Learning and Development sphere for Apprenticeships and Early Careers at Watches of Switzerland Group PLC, my focus is on nurturing talent and fostering an environment that encourages growth.

My recent experience as a Breitling Boutique Manager honed my expertise in client relationship management, where we launched a new boutique and cultivated a team that excelled in sales and luxury client experience.

A champion for diversity, my recognition as a Role Model for Inclusion in Retail reflects my commitment to creating an inclusive culture within our organisation. This ethos is instrumental in my approach to people management and aligns seamlessly with my responsibilities in developing future leaders within our organisation.
