I am founder and CEO of Women Ahead and Moving Ahead Group, set up in 2014. Before then I worked in the fields of consultancy, coaching and mentoring for 16 years in businesses ranging from 30 employees to 330,000. I have held commercial, coaching and leadership roles at IMG, KPMG, HSBC (Global Head of Coaching), and GP Strategies (Managing Partner). In 2012 I cycled the entire route of the Tour de France, one week ahead of the men’s race, matching them stage for stage, riding 3,479kms in 21 days. This journey highlighted the inequalities in the sport I love; the fact that there is no women’s Tour de France (despite the clear physiological ability of women to complete it) was a driving factor in the creation of Women Ahead.
