About

I have a first class degree in geography, a MSc in Transport Engineering and MBA from Warwick.  I didn't really know what I wanted to do at school, so followed my heart and studied geography - I've never looked back. 

Preferences

  • Location: London, South
  • Availability: daytime, evening, in person

Current or most recent role

I am responsible for the growth of WSP UK in public sector and the growth of the EMIA Aviation business. I have executive ownership of WSP's relationships with contractors.

Why I want to become a professional ambassador

I'm close to the end of my 40 year career and I want to stay engaged. I would like to impart my business knowledge with those in a place where I was, thinking: what shall I do when I graduate?
