How Heather is building a better working world

The definition of a responsible and successful business continues to evolve at a rapid rate, and we have a finite amount of time to make a positive impact on the world we live in.

I am passionate about people and planet-centered design; helping organisations change the way they do business to build long-term value and achieve a sustainable future.

Working with leadership teams, I want to support organisations to unlock innovation, reinvent strategy and reimagine a better future.
