I started my career in the health and fitness Industry before moving into the travel sector in 2003.
I've been fortunate enough to work for brands such as lastminute.com, Travelsupermarket (part of moneysupermarket.com) Expedia and today I'm the Chief Commercial Officer at Traveltek (a leading travel software technology company) My remit is Global sales, marketing, client management, supplier relationships and our project management team. I also assume responsibility for our people and culture.

I've had extensive experience in strategy, business development (B2B marketing) and leading change. I've worked on commercial negotiations between some of the largest brands in travel and had experience in creating and executing new business models. Today, I can look back proudly on some great achievements, but the business achievements I'm most proud of, are seeing people I've worked with, grow and develop. I've had the pleasure of working with commercial and technical teams and also experience of managing and dealing with many cultures and businesses.

Outside of work, I'm a Mum to 2 children and as a result of this balancing act, I'm a huge supporter of women in business and advocating a culture of understanding and diversity which ultimately leads to a happier workforce but also a more profitable one.

I've worked in large corporates and experienced working in SME's , my role also see's me interact with many start ups wanting to succeed in travel so I have experience of all sizes of business.

Along my journey so far, I've had some great mentors. They supported me with challenging situations and reaching my goals - and gave me honest and valuable feedback. I would be happy to support you on your journey if I can add value to you, please get in touch.
