Cathy's Experience
Work Background
I have over 20 years’ Human Resources experience, working effectively across cultures in global organisations and partnering to Vice President level.
During that time, I have held a variety of HR roles in large Corporates within the communications, technology and energy sectors – Motorola Solutions, Thorn EMI Electronics, Philips Electronics, British Gas and Conoco.
My experience includes:
- leading strategic HR initiatives
- HR lead for mergers and acquisitions
- leading organization change
- organisational behaviour and psychology
- employee engagement
- talent development
- internal coach
Key to my success in leading change programmes was being able to identify barriers to success, collaborate to overcome obstacles and deliver on objectives. I continue to use these skills in my coaching, working collaboratively with my clients, to enable them to obtain clarity, make effective choices, commit to action and achieve results.
I am based in Buckinghamshire in the UK (close to the M4/M40 corridor), although I work with clients locally, across the UK and globally.
