Every chapter taught me how to lead the next.

The beginning

From the market stall to recruitment and sales.

My career did not begin in a boardroom. It began on my father's market stall, where I learned to turn up, serve people, understand what they needed and earn their trust.

I carried those lessons into recruitment and sales, developing the ability to identify potential, create opportunity and deliver results. That combination of commercial awareness and people-centred leadership became a consistent thread throughout my career.

A life changed

When success could not protect me from loss.

While living in the United States, my first husband, Benny, died unexpectedly following an asthma attack. In a single moment, the life I had worked so hard to build changed completely.

Bereavement confronted me with questions that professional success could not answer. It began a painful journey through grief, identity and faith—a journey I later shared in my book, From Grief to Glory.

I encountered Jesus, returned to the UK with my young son and began reconsidering what success, purpose and leadership truly meant.

Warwick Business School

Another loss. Another beginning.

In June 2025, I experienced another devastating loss when my sister died. Her death caused me to pause once more and consider what the next chapter of my life was asking of me.

I made the decision to undertake another significant career pivot and pursue an Executive MBA at Warwick Business School, specialising in digital transformation and artificial intelligence.

I was awarded the Inspiring Female Leaders Scholarship, recognising more than two decades of leadership impact and my commitment to advancing women in leadership.
