About

I help people and teams grow. 

Whether through a 1:1 coaching engagement or facilitated team event, development programme or workshop, I partner with you to help you achieve the positive change you’re seeking.

Perla Development has been inspired by the creation of a pearl within an oyster – with the right natural environment, nutrients, time and support, a beautiful pearl (in Latin, Perla) can grow from a tiny nucleus. I’m a strong believer in the power of strengths and using these to build individual, team and organisational capability.

The work I do helps support talent development, retention, leadership transformation, team effectiveness and organisational success. I offer professional and consulting services, including executive coaching, leadership and management development, team development, meetings facilitation and consulting.

For larger projects, I partner with a network of trusted, well-established and experienced colleagues.  We can deliver scaled solutions across a broad span of organisational and geographic boundaries.

As an MSc graduate in Organisational Behaviour from Birkbeck College, London, my career has been largely spent in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology sector:  my most recent corporate role was as the Head of Learning and Development for a Cambridge-based Biotechnology company.

My track record is characterised by developing highly effective partnering and is underpinned by a solid appreciation, and empathy for, people, teams and organisational dynamics. I’ve managed and mentored, and so can appreciate some of the opportunities and challenges presented in getting work done through others.

My business partners and clients say they value my ‘easy to work with’ approach, my dedication to delivering high quality work and my ability to bring my expertise to bear in order to develop talent and build business success.
