I joined Forest Research in 2022 as the Director of Finance & Corporate Services. In this role I am responsible for management, delivery and oversight of the corporate services teams which includes finance, human resources, IT, communications and estates.

As a qualified financial professional with over 25 year’s work experience I have been part of Senior Management teams in a range of businesses and across a variety of sectors. I have travelled widely and worked in organisations across the world building on my core training to develop a high level of expertise in operational and strategic business leadership roles.

I am excited to work at Forest Research as it is an organisation at the forefront of providing the scientific evidence to help inform and address the global environmental crisis. The input from the scientific community to provide quality evidence to influence and support policy development has never been greater.
