Communications leader driving brand, reputation and international growth

As Head of Corporate Communications at Shoosmiths, I lead the firm's communications strategy, helping to strengthen its reputation, engage its people and support its ambitious growth plans. Working closely with the Board, Executive Leadership Team and colleagues across the business, I oversee internal and external communications, media relations, thought leadership, issues management and strategic campaigns.

I joined Shoosmiths following a communications career built across agency and international in-house leadership roles. Having worked across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the UK, I have advised boards and senior executives on reputation, stakeholder engagement and business growth, supporting organisations through periods of transformation and international expansion.

My experience includes leading communications for global organisations, building high-performing teams, delivering high-profile campaigns and helping leaders navigate complex reputational and policy challenges across a broad range of sectors.

At Shoosmiths, I am bringing that international experience to support the firm's Mission 2030 ambitions, helping position the brand for continued growth, strengthen its profile in key markets and ensure communications support the firm's long-term strategic objectives.
