Speaking
Talks, panels & roundtables.
I speak to companies, sector bodies and event audiences on the people behind national capability — grounded in original research and real delivery, not platitudes.
Building the space-sector workforce
Where the skills will come from, and why the sector can't out-hire its talent gap — it has to build supply at source.
Women who belong at the top
What my research inside the Ministry of Defence revealed about the barriers holding women from underrepresented backgrounds back — and what actually moves the needle.
Convening across sectors
How government, industry primes and education can solve shared skills challenges together instead of competing over the same scarce talent.
Social mobility & leadership
A first-hand account of entering institutions that weren't built for you — and a practical case for why that perspective is an asset, not a footnote.
