Before moving into the corporate arena, she spent over a decade at the forefront of elite sport, working with seven professional teams, Olympic medallists, world champions, premiership-winning sides and the Special Forces Command.

AI and technology are advancing at speed, yet our human biology hasn’t changed in thousands of years. Right now, leaders and teams have never been more stressed, disengaged or burned out.
