About

Pragmatic advice. Clear structure. People‑focused results.

I set up Hummingbird Consulting to offer something I found often missing: practical, human-centred support for businesses navigating growth and change.

With deep experience in reward, analytics and organisation structure, I help companies simplify complexity — whether you’re undergoing transformation, integrating post-deal, or bringing structure to fast-moving operations.

Clients describe my approach as pragmatic, objective and grounded in reality. I’m not here to deliver theory for theory’s sake — I’m here to help you make confident decisions, navigate risk and leave your team stronger than when I arrive.

My background

I’ve worked across small businesses and global organisations — from high-growth tech to established manufacturing, from boutique consulting to the Big Four.

I’ve supported deal teams through M&A due diligence and integration, designed global grading systems, led reward reviews and helped organisations align people strategy with business goals. At heart, I’m fascinated by patterns: how they emerge, what they reveal, and how they can help us make better decisions.
