From commencing my HR career in pubs to supporting Asset Management

One thing I love about HR is you have the opportunity to work across all industries, I started my HR career in hospitality (pubs to be specific!) and have had the chance to work within FMCG, manufacturing and of course now financial services.

I help align our people strategy with our business strategy

I am aligned to our Asset Management function to drive and support us in delivering our business strategy from a people perspective.

Variety and Pace

No day is the same and the autonomy to structure my work helps me achieve at my best. I enjoy the pace within Asset Management - there is a constant drive to get things done!

Take risks!

Throughout my career I have taken risks - I quit a role with no job lined up and more recently left a permanent position to join Phoenix on a 12-month fixed term contract, three years on I am still here (after securing a permanent position!). I appreciate not everyone is in a position to do this but those risks have truly paid off in shaping my career.

Becoming a Mum - the best leadership training around!

Phoenix have a variety of family leave policies, the highlights that helped me during this life stage are: 1. 6 months paid maternity leave 2. a phased return to work (with no impact to salary) 3. working flexibly, I have Friday as a non-working day
