I’m a pianist and it’s through this lens of music that I pursue my projects. I bring the essence of listening, co-creation and partnership building to all my clients.

I’ve been working for 15 years alongside wellbeing, benefits and leadership teams to engage employees through music workshops and leadership & teambuilding programmes with my company ‘Music in Offices’.

Alongside this, I’ve been director of the Investec International Music Festival for 10 years, which I co-founded in 2010 bringing world-class music to the Surrey Hills.

I continue to campaign for the role of the arts and artists to be increasingly valued and understood more in society, as well as working with musicians to help build sustainable creative portfolio careers.
