SJ coaches on London Business School’s Executive Education and Executive MBA programmes and has 15 years’ experience as a leader in international conglomerates, at the Guardian newspaper and as a management consultant with EY.
SJ holds the EMCC’s Global Individual Accreditation (IEA) at Senior Practitioner level and is a member of the EMCC.
SJ coaches women at all stages of their career – up and down organisations and across cultures and is particularly drawn to the transition to parenthood. She says “too often women don’t have access to the professional support that can transform this transition from a career pinch point to an opportunity for growth. It’s an area close to my heart. I was living in a desert (literally and metaphorically!) experimenting with new careers when my kids were born. Setting myself up with decent support is the one thing I’d change if I did it all again.”
Exploration has always been SJ’s default setting – from nine years living and working throughout the Middle East to serving as a school governor across four countries. These days, she channels that same spirit into her volunteer work with Breast Cancer Now; keeping up with her teen, tween and energetic whippet; and stepping onto the stage to try her hand at stand-up comedy. Clients value the can-do energy and warmth she brings to her work.
