John Taylor High School

I studied Communication & Media Studies at Loughborough university and took a placement year at NBCUniversal as an Audience Research and Analysis intern. I also dida summer internship at a local corporate video production company. Since graduating in 2016, I have worked in Scheduling for ITV and BritBox, and most recently moved into the Editorial team for ITVX where I manage on-demand content and live streamed events.

I joined the executive management graduate scheme at HSBC which offered an overseas placement and a chance to move around different departments in the bank – after that I moved to London to initially work on Business Management roles, before 5 years as a front office banker in the city working with corporate clients. In 2017 I moved to Hong Kong to work on Sales Strategy for Asia then strategy for Client Management. I moved back to London with this role after having children and am currently working for the global team as Director - Global Sales and Client Management, Business Performance, GTS.

After graduating from Sheffield University in 2012 with a BA Hons in English Literature, I moved to London and began my career in events as a Partnership Manager for a festival. This role involved extensive international travel to cities like Melbourne, Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, Paris, and Munich. I then transitioned to Deliveroo, continuing in partnerships but focusing on restaurant operations. In this role, I lead on communications and CRM best practices for restaurant partners, managing a team of four and mentoring junior staff in their career development.
