“After 20 years in the public and private sector, ten of those in senior level consulting; I wanted to find a different way to combine interesting work with the joys and challenges of a young family. Creating Venbridge has enabled me to focus on the things I enjoy the most…….brilliant people, interesting problems and high quality outcomes.

There is a skill in bringing people together. But even as a qualified mediator, when I started out and was asked for my ‘elevator pitch’, I would feel a bit flummoxed. Can being really good at getting things done in a way that maximises the outcome, really be a business?

There was only one way to find out. I went out and talked to lots of people. Some I’d known for decades, some I’d only just met. I tried out different ideas and focused on the things people needed and where we could add most value. The work kept coming and Venbridge was born.

I’m really proud of the relationships we have and the work that we do. I love the space that we create for people to think differently. Above all, I love showing my children how many interesting problems there are to solve and how many amazing people there are to work with.”
